I have some serious catching up to do on all the great wines we tried on our honeymoon! We tried Kopke’s “regular” (non-reserva) at a wine bar in Obidos and it was spot-on. For only a few Euro more we picked up this bottle and took it home. I’m at a bit of a loss for how to describe Portuguese red wine, but it definitely has its own particular aroma. All my criteria were met and exceeded here: good fruit, smooth on the palate and smooth on the finish. This is fabulous wine. Incidentally, it was the only Douro (doh-roo) wine I really enjoyed.
