Wine Critic Review: ""This Portuguese tinto(red) blend exhibits a deep red color with violet hues. The nose is vibrant and fruity. The palate offers notes of spice, cherry, and dark berry supported by good structure. Pairs well with red or game meat, cheeses and fish.

My Review: The Doural Red Tinto was my favorite at the tasting. The smell consisted of dark berries and cherries. Also, it smelled oaky and had hints of tobacco. It was interesting to taste because to me it seemed to be a light bodied red wine. It was not as complex as other reds and did not seem to have much of a taste to it. That being said, it was refreshing and had a nice oaky aftertaste which I thought made this some what mediocre wine memorable.

This wine was not tried with food.
