Tasted blind. Dark yellow colour. Lovely, interesting smell - loads of ripe fruit, but not sweetly fruity on the nose. Again, in the mouth, definitely full of fruit but not an overtly fruity taste. Good body, some oak, but not OTT. Long flavour, but with something missing in the middle palate. Good. On uncovering it - Oh my goodness, it's Portugese, from the Douro. It's lovely. £7.50 a bottle from Vintage Roots is a snip. www.vintageroots.co.uk
