2016 Portugal

The 2016 Tinto douROSA is unoaked and comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fruity little Beaujolais-styled wine, but it typically does nicely. Its fresh fruit and vivid flavor are supported by its structure as a rule, some acidity to go with ripe tannins. Its freshness makes it sing. So, too, this year. I think the 2015 year was better for this style, granting that they are not side by side, but there isn't a huge difference in style, just changes along the margins. This is very pretty, a perfect summer red, something you can drink casually and a little cooler than normal. It is nicely priced and made for immediate consumption. It may hold a bit, but drink it as young as possible. It is worth leaning up just now.
