The red wine Batuta Tinto Douro DOC, vintage 2008 from the winery Niepoort has been rated in 2011 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Douro in Portugal.
Dark ruby colour, purple reflections, slightly watery rim. Initially a little shy, definitely needs plenty of air, fine dark berry fruit, blackberry confit, plum, orange zest, floral nuances, a multi-faceted bouquet. Full-bodied, juicy fruit, elegant texture, supported by firm tannins, dark minerality on the finish, complex and exciting. It is an elegant meditation wine with which it is worth spending time.
