All
wines tasted at the party held for baby Thomas on 25/08/2012. 13% ABV, cork closure. Asda Extra Special £5. From my
Blog: ‘£5 per bottle is pretty much as low as you can go these days (and most
are awful, generic Aussie rubbish) but this otherwise un-named co-operative
wine from Falua could be £10 and it would still be very good value. One of my
finds of 2012! 'Dao is the new Douro' in terms of innovation and quality
improvement, moving away from its image of making unforgiving, massively
tannic, dry, meat-marinating wines to ones of more international appeal using
modern wine making techniques and foreign expertise. This wine from the super
2010 vintage shows that.
It's a deep purple colour, beautiful black fruits on the nose with a whiff of Mediterranean spices. The mouth feel is quite elegant, very fruity and with some silky tannins. Great with grilled meat or a strongly flavoured salted cod dish. Ready to drink. This is my bargain of the year - but you worry at this price, is it sustainable - for anyone? From 2012, 16/20
