It has a particularly nice combination of freshness, grip and ripe tannins that make it very appealing. Then, it adds that gorgeous intensity of fruit flavour that this vintage produced, perfectly supported and defined by the acidity that slams the fruit into the palate. There is also very respectable weight (relative to this usually understated bottling and the elegant vintage). It then finishes tight and grabs the palate. Overall, this deserves some props and plenty of them. It should age beautifully.
it's very elegant, fresh and lively—that's the norm (this is always a bottling that can be a little understated, sometimes to a fault). In terms of concentration, it still is well on the elegant side, but in terms of power there may be a little more than normal this year. Maybe it's just young and in an odd place.

Douro is a wine region located in the northern part of Portugal, known for producing high-quality fortified wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman times. The Douro Valley is characterized by steep terraced vineyards that follow the curves of the river, creating a unique landscape.

The production of Port wine is the main focus of the Douro region. Port is a fortified wine that is made by adding brandy to the wine during fermentation, which stops the fermentation process and leaves residual sugar in the wine. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for several years, resulting in a rich, complex wine with flavors of dried fruit, nuts, and spices.

In addition to Port, the Douro region also produces table wines, which have gained recognition in recent years for their quality and unique character. The region's red wines are made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. These wines are known for their deep color, full body, and complex aromas and flavors.

Overall, the Douro region is a must-visit destination for wine lovers, offering a unique combination of history, culture, and exceptional wines.
