Prats & Symington Post Scriptum de Chryseia Douro 2021

Served @ DB's "Wines of Portugal" Tasting. #1 Seller 

Chryseia, which means "golden" in Greek, is one of the leading red table wines from Portugal's Douro Valley. Crafted by Prats & Symington family, Port producers since 1882, and Bruno Prats, former owner of the famed Chateau Cos d'Estournel, Chryseia began with some experimental lots of wine in 1999. Sine that time, the wine has demonstrated the incredible potential of combining winemaking expertise from the Douro Valley and Bordeaux, two of the world's best wine regions. Chryseia further underscored its commitment to producing wine in the Douro Valley with the acquisition of Quinta de Perdiz, and the legendary Quinta de Roriz in 2009.

Winemaker Notes: Lovely floral bouquet revealing typical Touriga Franca fragrance of esteva (rockrose) and a suggestion of eucalyptus. Rich and full on the palate denoting great structure. Ripples of deep dark fruit flavors (black cherries, plum) underpinned by good acidity.

A twist of oyster sauce, stones, violet extract and tar to the blackberries, black cherries and grilled pepper spices. Medium to full body with firm, nicely chewy tannins that lead to a sleek, medium-long finish. Ripe but also fresh.
