Joao
Nicolau de Almeida of Ramos Pinto
This
is the famed table wine of Ramos Pinto, which is now part of the
Roederer group. After Barca Velha, this was one of the pioneers of
Douro table wines. I think they have the right idea here: they are
not going after wines of just power, but are looking for balance.
Vineyard sources are from both the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior.
Duas
Quintas Reserva 2004
Fresh, sweet red/black fruits nose. The palate is fresh with
lovely focused bright fruit. Good acid and tannin. Very
good/excellent 91/100
