I strongly second that advice. Some of the best reds of the Iberic
Peninsule are done in Portugal (and I am Spanish). A few hot names from
Douro:

- Quinta do Vale Meao 2000
- Pintas 2000
- Poeira 2001
- Niepoort Batuta (difficult to find)
- Quinta do Crasto (several bottles, including their excellent basic wine
of the same name).

Best,

Santiago
