Tasting - "Vega Duoro 2011"

Name: Vega Duoro 
Variety: Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional
Region: Duoro
Country: Portugal
Year: 2011
Price: $9.95
Wine Critic Review (Roger Voss)This is a firmly structured, dark wine. It has black cherry and berry fruit, a solid core of tannins and tight acidity. With its dense character, there is every chance of this impressive wine aging well, yielding a more rounded wine. Drink from 2016.
My Review: This red wine had a nose of dark berries and smelled musky, like old wood. The tongue was acidic with hints of pine and dark berries that mellowed out with a smooth, long finish with a bit of heat and mild pepper. It had a good mouth feel and was full bodied. I would age this wine a year or two longer before drinking it.
With Food: No
