Tasting - "Doural"

Name: Doural Tinto
Variety: Touriga Franca
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Wine 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 Personal Review: This was one of my favorite wines from the daily tasting. It was a pretty red and the taste was very light with a hint of fruit. However, the aftertaste was extremely dry which painted my entire mouth with its flavor.

I did not have food with this wine.
