Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 10:33 am
From Real Companhia Velha. Douro.
Have you ever noticed how, sometimes, a wine catches you by surprise? Well, as the Brits would say, this wine left me gobsmacked.
Big, rich and complex, very spicy and peppery, pears, light lemon and ruby grapefruit, with a hint of orange as it warmed, lightly honeyed, zippy acidity.
A long, zesty grapefruit and lemon peel finish.
A great summer wine and good QPR at $15.95 Canadian.
