Tasting- Doural Tinto

Name: Doural Tinto
Variety: Tinto Cao, Touriga Nacional
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal
Year: 2009
Price: $8.95
Shop 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. Paris well with red or game meat, cheeses, and fish.

My Review:  The first thing I noticed about this wine was its deep red/purplish color.  Upon first taste, I felt the wine was very spicy.  It was a dynamic wine, filled with lots of flavors.  I did not have this wine with food.
