Quinta do Fojo 2000 Fojo Red (Douro)

Country: Portugal / Fojo
Variety: Portuguese Red Douro
Winery: Quinta do Fojo /

One of Portugal’s priciest table wines, this vintage boasts cherry and plum aromas that just don’t seem all that intense, followed by bright cherry flavors accented by modest cedar. The long finish is evidence of its quality, but it turns astringent and one wonders whether the fruit will outlast the tannins.
