The 2020 Duas Quintas Tinto is mostly a 50/30 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with the rest composed of other typical grapes. It was aged for 12 months in a 50/50 mixture of stainless steel and various sizes of wood. It comes in at 15.2% alcohol. This was a year with weather problems that caused the winery to declassify the Reserva. That fruit went here. That makes this a rather high alcohol red, plus deep and concentrated for the regular DQ. You can smell the very ripe fruit here, making it seem like a relatively roasted version of the 2019. It certainly tastes great, but it isn't what the winery normally delivers. If you're not a normal DQ fan, you might like this better than the fresher versions, but I'd say this is a bit ponderous. Still, it is hard to deny the big fruit. In its own right, it sometimes seems delicious. Every time I started liking it a lot, though, the other side of the story popped up—the fruit might also be a touch overripe. That may be more obvious as it ages, but for now, it has many virtues of its own, and a lot of consumers will think that they are getting a lot of wine for the price.
