Douro reds: panel tasting results

Quinta da Touriga-Chã, Puro 2008

Rose, violet, spice and earthy aromas. Good grip and clarity on the palate and has a cool elegance to it. It has sweet fruit and richness of flavour with chewy, structured, assertive tannins. Needs time but has complexity. 17pts/20
Price: £14.50 Flourish & Prosper
Drink: 2012–2017
Alc: 14%

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 (25 vote, 35%)
No - Bordeaux left me behind years ago (18 vote, 25%)
Probably not - I'd rather buy vintages already on the market that offer better value (28 vote, 39%)
