Quinta do Vallado Douro Tinto 2021 willow-creek followed by 8-10 months maturationThis blend is dark red, with crimson highlights and an intense, mature red fruit nose, with hints of violets and esteva (a local Portuguese herb that has sweet, warm balsamic aromas with a hint of earthiness). The palate shows great structure and a full bodied elegance, with mature, round tannins, leading to a long, persistent finish.
