Vale de Pios As Tourigas 2007 Douro Superior

The flagship wine of the estate, this has a truly affine feel, with its classical structure, polished tannins, and graceful energy. A smoky Douro note rises from the gummy patŽ de fruit centre, with dry scrub notes and balsam that are like breathing the air in this most remote part of the valley. Cedar and sandalwood notes are balanced by hits of bell pepper and strawberry, signing off with a lick of delicious acidity. To drink or keep.
