Tasting: Red Tinto

Doural
Red Tinto
$8.95
Portugal 2009


Store 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: Strong on the nose with a very bitter smell. It is light in color and not very full. I do not feel the spiciness. It is ok, but I would probably only drink it with food. Maybe a nice cheese would enhance the flavors.
