The red wine Grande Escolha Tinto Douro DOC, vintage 1999 from the winery Barros Almeida & Cia - Vinhos SA has been rated in 2004 with 86 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Douro in Portugal.
Deep ruby garnet, almost opaque core, violet rim, very delicate edge brightening, initially delicate green-vegetal notes on the nose, then some sour cherries, Amarana cherries, smoky wood note in the background, clears more and more towards blackberry confit, with air the whole thing turns negative again, the wood becomes dominant again, hard on the palate, inharmonious, the individual components do not play together, quite dry on the finish, perhaps too dry.
