JF Lurton Quinta do Malho Douro Red – 2007 – 9.2 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Varietals:

• Tinta Amarela
• Souzão

Lush fruit melding into  a dry yet decisive wine; completeness in structure; cherry, plum, blueberry Confit, Cinnamon and nutmeg, and maitake mushroom; aromas of violets, late summer moist orchard, and suede.

¡Salud!

Niepoort Vertente Douro – 2004 – 8.7 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This wine consists of the following varietals: Tinta Roriz Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Nacional (amongst others as cited on the Niepoort-Vinhos website). I am all the more curious what is the varietal breakdown and to know the other varietals. This wine exhibits tart just picked red cherry, fleshly red pepper, and baking spices with a dash of underbrush.

¡Salud!
