The 2016 Duas Quintas Tinto is mostly a 45/35 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with the last 20% comprised of other typical grapes. It was partly aged in well-used French oak (20%) and tonels (30%) for 13 months, the rest in stainless steel. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. When seen a couple of weeks after bottling in Portugal, this was quite a buy. It's now in the USA. Has it held serve? Mostly, yes. You sure can't go wrong at the price. It shows some structure for the level, finishing with grip. The tannins are ripe, though, and they've moderated just a bit. There isn't a lot of concentration in the grand scheme of things, but it still coats the mouth. It may lack the intensity of flavor of the 2015—showing just a bit flat at the moment—but probably adds a little bit of depth. The fruit is pure with a stonewashed feel. Overall, this does everything well but nothing exceptionally well. Now, look at the price again. It's a great house pour. While these do tend to hold surprisingly well, exercise some caution.
