Torre De Ferro DAO Reserva 2012 - Wine Review

We drank this bottle of Torre De Ferro DAO Reserva 2012 a couple of days ago, and very nice it was too.

I recently broke the last of our wine glasses, so we're using this charity-shop beer glass ;)

Mr.R bought this bottle of Torre De Ferro DAO Reserva 2012 from Lidl, it cost £4.99.
It's from DAO, Portugal.
It pours a rich dark red colour, with aromas of cherry and tobacco.
On the palate there's full-on fruitiness, blackberry, cherry, plum, and strawberry, I also tasted raisins, a touch of spice, and a soft hint of vanilla.
Fairly heavy on the tannins, but a very pleasant wine indeed, and excellent value at just a fiver - it tastes like a pricier wine.

From the label -
This Torre de Ferro wine is produced using the Alfrocheiro, Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional grape varieties. It is matured for 6 months in oak barrels, which lends the wine its acidity, fresh taste and intensive colour. This wine can be stored for up to 3 years after purchase. Ton enjoy this wine at its best, decant before serving.
