Quinta do Além Tanha Vinhas Velhas 2004

16.5 / 20
Producer: Quinta dos Avidagos
Region: Douro
Country: Portugal







Dark ruby, this wine shows intense ripe red fruits on the nose, along with some elegant oak and taste. Pretty intense and strong, it's a pleasurable bouquet.


Very well balanced in the mouth, with lots of red fruit, supported by a fresh acidity and quite hard tannins, that support and give strength to a well structured and layered body.


Although the ending is not very long, it still has a good presence, dry and with a refreshing acidity, leaving notes of red fruits on the aftertaste.


A good Douro from an year that is starting to reveal itself as a really good one from this portuguese region.
