Another Douro Table Wine

Prazo de Roriz
Douro 2003
$12.99
Shane’s Notes

The aroma consists of licorice and brambly, dark, chocolate cherry. The palate displayed blueberry, licorice, tart cherry, Peking Duck skin (Jen’s descriptor), and bitter chocolate on the finish. It is dry with firm but not overpowering tannins. I was hoping the flavors would be a bit more pronounced but was pleasantly surprised at the mild complexity of the palate. You usually don’t find this much complexity in the sub $15 range.

I bought this one and did not tell Jen the price. After we finished the bottle, she guessed that it costs $25. We are really enjoying the Douro table wines.
