Luis Seabra Vinhos Xisto Ilimitado Douro Red Blend 2017

Peter Sultan

Interesting as a lighter style red blend from the Douro. Has a fine tannin grittiness, & small black berry approach that is very seductive to this palate. Most analogous to a Moulin A Vent. About 750 cases produced & usually found in restaurants, so quite blessed to drink w friends at Sunset.

Allison Lyzenga

Deep purple; medium intensity aromas of restrained black fruit, savory tomato leaf, smoke; medium acid, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; good

Tom Penichter

A little thin and dry

Kelley Raymond

Balanced and great finish. Lacked the body I expected.

Peter Hladun

Grippy tannins, a lot of astringency on the finish, dried fruit, a bit of star anise

Ben Christen

Nice.

Camille Puglia

This wine tastes like a gamay and Rhône varietal has a baby.

Carter White

Well balanced; good food wine.

Stuart Pollack

Thin, acidic, awful wine that is typically served at bars. Not worth buying.
