Ferreirinha Barca Velha Douro DO 1985
summary : one wow wines gastronomic Tour of Hong Kong and Macau. On this wine has already been said a lot: about how his style is reminiscent of Bordeaux, and that is one of the greatest wines in the world. I was shocked not so much of its complexity (it of course), how many bright, floral notes - and this in such a venerable age. In this case, it is very gastronomichno, and was an excellent accompaniment to a traditional English tapas (with goat cheese and honey, to sardines on toast) and a tomato soup with chorizo, paella, and a suckling pig on the grill.
c orta: turiga Nacional, turiga Franc, Tinta rorits
13.5% alc.
eye: transparent dark cherry color.
nose: noble, deep, ripe flavor. The first nose - black berries in chocolate on a background of balsam shade. Then there deep notes of underbrush and vanilla, cherry stone and flowers.
mouth: volume, but also very thin, concentrated, balanced taste. Silky tannins. Infinitely long finish with notes of cherry pits, tobacco and chocolate.
food tips: applied to the tasting menu in a English restaurant La Paloma in Macau.
price: $ 180 in the restaurant.
The restaurant is located in a small hotel Pousada de Sao Tiago in a quiet part of Macau, which necessarily have to stop summer. It is situated on the territory of the ancient fortresses and beautifully preserves freshness. Winter (ie, when the street about 10 degrees) everywhere except numbers wildly cool.
chef is known for its tapas and paella, especially Valenciana. But as in many cases, exceptional restaurants, tasting menu gives complete picture of the style and cuisine. Wonderful wine list consists mostly of English and Portuguese wines, although there are Bordeaux and Burgundy. Last too young, but Bordeaux is the same as in the "best restaurants" in Moscow. Year, while not the best.
