Tasting- Doural


Name:  Doural
Variety:  Red Tinto
Region:  Douro
Country:  Portugal
Year:  2009
Price:  $8.95
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:  This wine had a tobacco, spice smell with dark fruit and oak, which I normally like, but not on so much on this wine.  Maybe the overall scents were just too light and not defined enough. The taste was oaky, with no sweetness.  It tasted a little like moist mulch with some tobacco.    

I tried this wine without food.
