Marks & Spencer, Quinta de Fafide Estate Reserva, Douro Valley, Portugal 2022

This hearty blend of native Portuguese grapes is a great match for warming winter dishes. Perfumed black fruit aromas with hints of graphite and violet lead to a savoury palate. Nice tannic grip, thanks to time in French and American oak, fleshed out by lush blackberry and black cherry fruit on the mid-palate. Good value.
