2005 Callabriga Douro Reserva

Color: opaque ruby with brownish hue

Nose: smoke, mint, blueberries

Palate: this wine has a big, imposing presence/structure.  Burst of raisins, blueberries, dark chocolate, smoke & mint upon entry.  Complex wine w/ earthy undertone.  Almost like drink a non-fortified Port.  I actually like it slightly chilled.
Alcohol: 12.5%

Food Pairing: grilled chorizo, skirt steak w/ chimichuri sauce, Bandeja Paisa.

Verdict: Nice!
