Tasting note

A traditional style of Alentejo wine, which pushes dry tannins as much as fruit. It is solid, dark, intense, powered by its structure, the fruit coming way behind. It is always going to be a tannic wine, but it makes a great partner with rich winter stews. Score - 89. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2012)
