2010 Lua Nova Em Vinhas Velhas

by

wine 046This big, bold wine from Douro packs a punch!  Firm, grippy tannins open up to dense layers of dark fruit, with subtle hints of chocolate mixed in with aromas and flavours of smoke and spice.  Sporting a long, dry intense finish, this full bodied gem would be perfect in 2-4 years, or tonight aftter an hour or two in a decanter, and would pair perfectly with rare bbq steak or a hearty roast beef.  A Mike’s Must Have!
