Douro reds: panel tasting results

Barão de Vilar, Zom Reserva 2008

Dark, intense aromatics of black fruit, leather, spice, flowers and lots of toast. Succulent black cherry fruit with a cinnamon edge. The palate has a silky feel, lovely complexity and real fruit purity. Will improve. 16.9pts/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 (31 vote, 33%)
No - Bordeaux left me behind years ago (27 vote, 28%)
Probably not - I'd rather buy vintages already on the market that offer better value (37 vote, 39%)
