WTN: CARM Quinta do Coa Grande Escolha Douro 1999

From Casa Agricola Roboredo Madeira or CARM. Very dark and still young looking. Deep berry nose with some chocolate emerging after an hour's airing. Also slight VA. Medium-bodied. Juicy. Cherry. Dry. Generally soft but still tannic in the finish. A good wine drinking well now. 70% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca 10% Tinto Roriz.

My fave winestore here in Edmonton is stocking up on quite a few Carm products. I have just purchased the `02 Quinta da Urze, Tinta Roriz.
