Alvaro Castro Red 2008, Doc Dão

I've had the opportunity to try Alvaro Castro's wines in the past and I'm always impressed with his focus on simplicity and elegance. This is a really nice wine. I have to say I do prefer some of his other vintages better. I hope to continue to see more Alvaro Castro wine offerings in future. Definitely a good wine to try if you're just getting into the wines from Portugal's Dao Region. Great expression of earth and terroir. I expect this wine to be better in a few years and hopefully more like his 2007 which I love. Tasted July 2012
