QUINTA DO VALE D MARIA Douro 2009

2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #9
The 2009 Vale D. Maria Douro is a fascinating wine with lots of character. It has depth, power, elegance and old world charm as well. The wine seems to develop a new characteristic with each swirl of the glass taking on ripe damson plums, blackberries, cured meat, smoke, chocolate and even wet stone. This is all backed by a full-body with beautiful soft, silky tannins that guide the fruit into the long caressing finish. There is no doubt this is an age-worthy wine that is only going to get better over time. (Drink 2014-2030) - July, 2012. (JD)
