Quinta das Carvalhas 2012 Reserva Red (Douro)

Country: Portugal / Douro
Variety: Portuguese Red
Winery: Quinta das Carvalhas / Reserva

This is an initially smooth wood-aged wine that is intense, concentrated and packed with power and tannins. It is rich and full of brooding dark plum and dense with structure. Dominated by Touriga Nacional, it has that variety’s perfumed character which is balanced by the smoother Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. It is obviously a wine to age, so drink from 2018.
