Vallado (Quinta do Vallado), Douro, Portugal ($35)

A blend of tinta barroca, tinta roriz, touriga franca, & touriga nacional grapes. Funk - that was the only word I could think off to describe this. There was a lot going on in the nose and mouth and I couldn't put a traditional wine word on any of it. It just had some spicy funk to it. An enjoyable drink, though I think overpriced. Would be good at $18, but at $35 overpriced.
