Wine Expert Note:

The Esporão Quinta dos Murças Assobio Douro is an exceptional wine from the Douro region of Portugal. It showcases the unique terroir and craftsmanship that the region is renowned for. In appearance, this wine displays a deep ruby color with hints of purple, indicating its youthfulness. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, the Assobio Douro reveals a harmonious balance between fruitiness and structure. The ripe black fruits continue to dominate, with additional layers of complexity brought by nuances of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture, while the acidity adds freshness and vibrancy to the wine. This wine is medium to full-bodied, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant aftertaste. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.
