Vale Do Bomfim Douro Valley 2006; Oporto, Portugal

The Douros I have had before I have liked. This is no exception. A pretty ruby-ish purple color, it has a plummy nose. That plum note carries over to the palate, with some nice tannins, almond notes, a touch of pepper and herbs. Really versatile, I could see myself serving this with any number of dishes. A very tasty, inexpensive bottle.
