TASTING NOTES

The Invincible Vinho Tinto Douro Número Dois is a field blend sourced from 50+ year old vineyards grown in Portugal’s Douro Valley. Containing Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Rufete grapes the wine undergoes 16 Months “elevage” in used French Oak barriques. Deep purplish crimson. Pretty ripe and luscious on both nose and palate with smoother tannins than many Douro reds – there is still some tannin but it’s very ripe. Lots of work involved in this feat? Yet it definitely tastes of the hot stones of the Douro. Well done! Really rather gorgeous already. Clean, fresh, appetising finish. A cheerful wine that comes out of the glass to metaphorically lick your face affectionately.
