O Maleiro Restaurante Tawny
After walking to Caves Santa Marta and back from Peso da Regua we were worn out and well in need of a glass of port to fortify us. Fortunately the owner of the restaurant (José at O Maleiro Restaurante) had spotted us early in the afternoon on our walk. He couldn't believe how far we had been and promptly proffered the following.
The colour was quite red with only a little oxidation. The woodiness was quite striking on the nose. Tasting revealed sweet sugar and dried fruit flavours balanced with a moderate contribution from the oak. In addition there was a herbal component with more than a hint of thyme.
