Tasting - Boas Vinhas Tinto

Name:  Boas Vinhas Tinto
Variety:  Touriga Nacional

Country:  Portugal
Region: Beira
Year: 2009
Price:  $9.95


Vintage Cellar Review:  Deep bright violet and red color.  Rich in aromas of red fruits as plums and strawberries.  Its intense yet docile and fleshy taste fills the palate without roughness, leaving a pleasant sensation.

My Review:  This wine had a scarlet red color and a slight cherry aroma.  The taste of this Red Tinto was mildly fruity and very different from the Doural Red Tinto.  It had a hint of spice and milder tannins than the Doural and Cotes Du Rhone I had at this tasting.  I tried this wine on its own without food.
