A wine made at Quinta da Carvalhosa in the Douro. Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesa and Touriga Nacional are used.
This has the usual rich nose of Douro fruits, the spice and leather, but it has an acidity cleaning it. This has a big mouthful of familiar fruits, with a great tannic end that goes on and on.

The Quinta da Carvalhosa is a joint-venture of Bernd Philippi (Koehler-Ruprecht, Pfalz), the late Bernhard Breuer (Georg Breuer, Rheingau) and Werner Näkel (Meyer-Näkel, Ahr). So for bibliograpic reasons, I would suggest calling it "2007 Quinta da Carvalhosa Ardosino".
It's a German style Douro wine (in a way that CHRYSEIA or Post Scriptum is a Bordeaux-style Douro wine).
I found this in my little black book: "great, decant it longer at home". I had this wine a couple of times in the last years and have decanted it for three to four hours before drinking it. But I think it needs a longer decant as this bottle was open for (if I remember correctly) two days. So the next time I have a Ardosino, I will decant it at least for six to seven hours.
