Vale de Pios Tinto 2017 Douro Superior

The most typically new wave Douro in style of the Vale de Pios wines, while sticking to Joaquim's mantra of only releasing vintages after significant ageing in barrel and bottle. A powerful red with deep, mulled black fruits, fig and prune too, and a liqueur-like intensity that recalls Ribera del Duero. If you like it big drink now, but can also be forgotten in the cellar for years.
