I went and tasted widely. I&#8217;d just been in the Douro with the Douro Boys, so I didn&#8217;t taste their wines here. Instead, I focused on other producers, and found lots to like. It seems that even some Douro table wines that in the past were over-ripe and over-oaked have become more balanced. I certainly found a lot of very likeable, balanced wines today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16199\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16199\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16199\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074740-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Jos\u00e9 Luis Moreira da Silva\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074740-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074740-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074740-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074740.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16199\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jos\u00e9 Luis Moreira da Silva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16200\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16200 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074743-500x356.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"500\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074743-500x356.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074743-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074743-400x285.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PB074743.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jorge Ser\u00f4dio Borges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The whites are also an emerging story.
