Prats & Symington, Douro DOC (Portugal) 2011

Dec 18, 2013

By Rich Cook

Porto isn’t just about sweet dessert any more. This dry wine is ready for your dinner table with forward mixed berries, herbs and dry earth minerality in the nose and on the palate, with firm tannic grip propping up the flavors through a long complex finish that blossoms for a full half minute after you swallow it.  This is the kind of wine that elevates the meal experience, yet holds its own as a singular point of interest as well.  All this, and at a nice price!
