I have been saying this for years...what a relief to hear it echoed...you don't bury the Douro reds in oak...and the aromatics come alive!
"What I find eye-opening about it, for a Douro red, is the freshness and vibrancy of its aromas and flavors. The wine smells of red fruits, delicate flowers, and spice; in your mouth it is likely to conjure thoughts of red and black cherry, red berries, toast and Indian spices. These aromatics give the wine personality and liveliness that is unusual for the region, in my experience."
This is a great piece by Mary Ewing-Mulligan.
