Inospito,Vinhas Velhas Almendra, Vinho Tinto, DOP Douro, 2022
Just 3660 bottles, from a single vineyard planted in 1850 (so pre-phylloxera) including over 45 recorded varieties. The soil is schist, and the vineyard is at 250 meters above sea level. After being hand harvested the grapes are aged for 18 months in a combination of 225 litre and 500 litre new and old French oak barrels. This ancient field blend exemplifies everything that is great about Douro reds, both aromatic and intense. Crushed lavender, rose petal and raspberry hit you out of the glass. The palate is velvety and full of red and dark fruit, sharp blackcurrant, cherry and just a little black pepper. These notes are long and sustaining, with the tannins sitting comfortably in the background supporting this symphony. A wine for instant enjoyment but that will develop gracefully over the coming decade. Perfect to drink with any type of game. Just superb. Now-2028
