The red wine Douro tinto, vintage 2016 from the winery Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto has been rated in 2021 by Ulrich Sautter with 92+ Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Sousao from the region Douro in Portugal.
Black cherry fruit reminiscent of port, with light caramel aromas and subtle peppery, slate-spicy undertones. Grainy on the palate, dry and firmly determined by extract in the middle of the palate, a well-sustained acid nerve in the background, intense tactile minerality. Still seems completely closed, needs at least another five years and will keep for 25 years.
