Description
The Dão is noted for producing much of Portugal's best red wines, and for a country with such a diverse, exciting and evolving portfolio that's saying quite a bit. The 2012 Quinta das Camélias Reserva is comprised of three of the region's leading varieties: Touriga Nacional - famous for its role in Port production and for creating deeply coloured and concentrated dry wines, the early ripening Jaen (aka Mencia in Spain) - noted for its deep colour, and Alfrocheiro - one of Dão's most promising grapes. A superb value and a great insight into this fantastic region.
Tasting Notes
Rich, dark berry fruit, wood smoke and menthol herald a deep, concentrated gusher of richly flavoured dark, juicy cherry and tangy bramble berry coating the palate persisting through the rich, balanced aftertaste. There's structure, complexity and no shortage of flavour. Wisps of tannin suggest a two-hour aeration decant or a further six months before opening. It pairs well with grilled ribs, steak or a hearty stew. Special Designation: Value Wine. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5 (Wine of excellence)). (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Aug. 28, 2013)
