\"\"<\/p>\n

Had a great meal last night at DOP restaurant in Porto<\/a>, with some really creative riffing on a Portuguese theme from Rui Paula. We began with a fruity scallop carpaccio, and then progressed to a beautifully cooked corvina (relative of sea bass) fillet with mango and coconut. These exotic flavours worked well, and this was served with Asian noodles. Then the meat: succulent baked kid (baby goat) with flavoursome rice. This was followed by a serious Portuguese cheese plate, and then some dessert.<\/p>\n

Some nice wines accompanied the food, with quite a range of flavours and styles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Filipa Pato 3B Blanc de Blancs NV Bairrada, Portugal<\/strong>
\nSolid, tasty fizz fro Filipa. This is getting better. Taut and complex with bright citrus fruit as well as some subtle honey and toast. Lively and vivid with a bit of pithiness. Lovely. 90\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finca Teira 2016 Ribeiro, Spain<\/strong>
\nLively and fresh with a mineral streak to the bright lemon and mandarin notes. So fine with a tangy edge. Bright and intense. 91\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Antonio Macanita Verdelho Original 2015 Pico, Azores<\/strong>
\nSo linear and stony with fresh citrus fruit. There\u2019s a faint smokiness and a steely, mineral edge. Good acidity with a tingling, electric finish. 92\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jose Aristegui Traste 2015 Valedoras, Spain<\/strong>
\nIntense and rich with sweet bold black cherry fruit and some salty, tarry notes. Powerful and a bit bitter on the finish. Sweet and alcoholic but with some nice presence. 89\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quinta de Arcosso Reserva 2009 Tras os Montes, Portugal<\/strong>
\nConcentrated and intense with vivid, rich but fresh black cherry and blackberry fruit. Dense and quite tannic with a slightly drying finish. Really focused. 91\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quinta do Infantado Vintage Port 1997 Douro, Portugal (magnum)<\/strong>
\nDense spicy and tarry with bold blackberry fruit with a dusty, dry, savoury edge and lots of tannin. Has some chocolate and raisin character but it\u2019s the dense fruit that drives this wine. 93\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
