Galharda Douro 2020

Garnet hue with a slight opacity to it with aromas of red berry, pomegranate, sweet/savory spice.

Palate--Slightly tart front palate, with puckery tannins and robust acidity. Tart raspberry and cherry.

Whoa!  This is a lip smacking, over-the-top Douro (Portugal) creation that may be beyond mellowing out. 

At 4 years of age it is not very approachable but then again I just opened it.  I will see how this pairs with my Carbonara as sometimes these wines that are questionable by themselves are great with food. We shall see!

***With our dinner of carbonara, it really was a very nice pairing. For $6 raise a glass!
