Tinto – 2018; Niepoort Wines; Gouveia, Portugal

Behold the Dão wine region of Portugal. Probably best to just pour a glass, turn on the music and just shut up.  But if you must know, here are some highlights.  This vintage is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Jaen, Tinto Pinheira, and Alfrocheiro. Yes, all great Portuguese grapes. The wine presents a bouquet featuring spicy notes, complemented by dark cherry, plum, and fig. Sip, swirl, and savor every moment of this wine as you uncover some leather and a hint of balsamic. The wine comes across medium bodied, but after one bottle, you’re still listening to the music and trying to find where you stashed the other bottle. Saúde!
