Tasting Notes

89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 14
Saturated dark ruby. Kirsch, mint and spices on the very primary nose and palate. Concentrated and sweet, offering lovely black cherry intensity, complicating notes of violet and licorice, and harmonious framing acidity. This savory, energetic wine finishes with fairly easygoing, dusty tannins and noteworthy persistence.

Portugal Fine Wine and Fortified Port

Portugal

Portugal is a treasure trove of indigenous grapes, ancient traditions and modern confidence. From the schistous slopes of the Douro to the breezy Atlantic coast, the wines offer freshness, texture and authenticity. Expect structured reds, mineral whites, and of course, Port – but also thrilling lesser-known finds from regions like Dão, Bairrada and Alentejo. A rich, expressive and hugely rewarding wine culture.
