A Portuguese Jaunt

Took a little trip to the Portuguese aisle and sniffed out a classy looking cheap deal with an amusing name:

Porca de Murca.

Porca de Murca Douro tinto 2007 $11.99.

Took a good whiff and got sweet maple syrup peameal bacon on the nose. This set me up for disappointment as none of these delectable flavours were detectable on the tongue. Very acidic up front giving way to something I couldn't quite put my finger on, I felt it rather drinkable despite its lack of character. This wine would be excellent with white bread.

If you must.

Verdict: Tastes machine made.
