Destino Fifth Empire Douro Red Blend 2019 Review | Big Fruit, Bigger Questions
Description
On this episode, we’re heading back to Portugal for a full review of the Destino Fifth Empire Douro Red Blend 2019. This bold red had us swirling through notes of cherry, plum, vanilla, and oak with a floral twist that caught us off guard. This week, we dig into the grapes Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, and talk about what each brings to the blend as part of our learning segment. We also debate the value of box wine at a Michelin-star dinner, and of course, give our final verdict.
If you're into Portuguese red wine, Douro blends, or just love hearing wine nerds get passionate, this one’s for you.
