Wine & Soul Vinhas Velhas Quinta da Manoella Douro 2017 Bottle:12 reminsicent of yeastFull bodied and deeply concentrated, with a spicy and floral aroma, flavours of blackberry and dark chocolate. Ripe, round and balanced with a notable acidity, firm tannins and a long finish. The wines are often and inky purple due to the thickening of the skins from the intense summer heat of the region. Douro Red wines range in style from light and fruity to lush and smooth to dark and dense with flavors of mature dark fruit, with herbal and schist.
