Quinta do Ribeirinho VR, Beira Interior (Portugal), 2003

Tasted 11/08/2010. n/a UK, about £10 in Portugal. From the cellars of stellar winemaker Luis Pato, comes this remarkable wine, using a blend of the indigenous Baga grape and Touriga Nacional. Red-brown colour, showing some age. Lovely, complex 'farmyard' nose and cured ham. Excellent balance and superb finish. Still a little tannic but will soften. Drink from 2010, 19/20.
