"Dark tawny with gold on rim. There's something quite meaty on the nose of this, with grilled meats and intense, nutty dried fruits. Again the exotic caraway and fenugreek spice that comes though on many of these wines (And most be an old wood character I suspect). On the palate there's a vanilla ice cream sweetness and supple, rich, generous character. The acidity is all there, but that vanilla and caramel really gives it a soft, voluptuous character that is very moreish yet complex."

Best known for fortified Port from the Douro Valley, Portugal also produces distinctive dry reds from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional. Its dramatic terraced vineyards and blending traditions give the wines a singular identity.
