Back to Portugal's Douro valley for a fairly recent vintage of an old favourite... Quinta do Infantado 2004.
Just bursting with bright, focused berry fruit. Finely grained, ripe tannins. A slight acidic prickle at the moment that will doubtless subside with a little further cellar time. An excellent value at ~$20CDN in my neck of the woods. I'd recommend serving it in large (Burgundy-size) goblets. The ideal accompaniment to herb roasted chicken or other white meats. This and the reds from Quinta de la Rosa and Duas Quintas now count amongst my favourite Douro table wines.
