Glorious

Absolutely reliable, gloriously rich red wine. Our son chose it to accompany the meal at his wedding. Marvellous value for the price. If you're only buying one red wine, make it this one.

14,5 points - Adega de Vila Real Reserve Red 2012

Dry wood right in front of the aroma, sweet chocolate, toasted, little fruit and some sweetness. Perception of sweetness on the test but end shows-if a little dry and rough.
