The Spanish-like 2019 Tinta Roriz feels like a modern, ripe and generously oaked Tempranillo from the Duero, a little like its relatives across the border. It has a varietal profile, with notes of berries and herbs and plenty of spice in a style that reminded me of the wines from the early 2000s. It's full bodied and has abundant, slightly dusty tannins. This was still from the time of 100% new French oak barrels, and the wine spent 18 months in them. This is for fans of the oaky and ripe style that for me detracted from the nuances of the place and variety. 9,202 bottles, 250 magnums and 50 double magnums produced. It was bottled from March 2022.
