Santos & Seixo 2019 'Perspectiva' Douro Red Reserva, Portugal

This bold red from the Port producing region way overdelivers for the price.  A blend of traditional Port grapes delivers layers of ripe blackberries, currants and plums interwoven with delicate hints of spices, vanilla and a touch of smoky oak.  Minerality and freshness balance the wine with velvety tannins adding nice structure.
