Portuguese Reds

J&F Lurton
“Pilheiros” Douro 2005 . . . . . . 18.99
91/100 - Our score.
Savory smoke, meat and Chinese spice aromas might remind you of a top notch Cote Rotie, only at a fraction of the price. On the palate there’s an abundance of blueberry and blackberry, accented by plenty of spice. With the persistence and depth of a far more expensive red, this is yet another great bargain from Portugal.
EXPECTED ARRIVAL MARCH 10TH

Quinta do Crasto
“Old Vines” Douro Reserva 2005 . . . . . . 35.99
95/100 - Wine Spectator. “Deeply colored, with intense yet refined aromas and flavors of kirsch, boysenberry, dark cherry and spice. The fruit is supported by focused notes of mineral and graphite, and the finish is loaded with dark chocolate and medium tannins. Drink now through 2015.”
