Expert's choice: Portuguese wine

12 of 20

Wine & Soul, Pintas, Douro 2008

Really elegant lift to the fruit and very fragrant incense-like oak. Lovely sweetness on the palate, with magical brightness to the acidity and very firm tannin structure. Tight, ripe density. 18pts/20

Bordeaux 2012 is turning out to be 'better and cheaper' than 2011, according to many. Will you buy?

Yes - finally a vintage that I may be able to afford (21 vote, 37%)
No - Bordeaux left me behind years ago (12 vote, 21%)
Probably not - I'd rather buy vintages already on the market that offer better value (24 vote, 42%)
