Tasting: Doural Red Tinto




 Name: Doural Red Tinto
Variety: Red blend
Region/country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $8.95

Winery Review:
This Portuguese tinto (red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues. The nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure. Pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses and fish.

My Review:
This wine had a smell that was kind of hard to define. It smelled like alcohol. It had a dry smell as well. It tasted of berries. It had a slightly spicy finish. In my description, I wrote down berries twice… so it must have tasted very much like berries to me.
