Quinta da Romaneira, R de Romaneira

From the truly great 2007 vintage, the R is actullay the second wine of Quinta da Romaneira, one of those very flash places in the Douro, complete with jaw dropping infinity pool.  The scenery's spectacular and so is this wine.  Rich and dark, meaty and spicy nose.  Opens very freshly and intensifies on palate to reveal dark fruits, spices and a touch of vanilla followed by an extensive finish.
