Quinta dos Avidagos, Lot 138, Douro Valley, Portugal, 2014

This 80ha project launched in 1996, with the first vintage in 2001. A typical Douro blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca, I’d rate this among the best-value reds around. Pure red cherry and plums with fresh acidity, grippy tannins and lots of depth and structure.
