Casa Santos Lima 2010 LAB

Varieties: Castelao 35%, Tinta Roriz 25%, Syrah 25%, Touriga Nacional 15%
Region: Lisboa
Vintage: 2010
Colour: Deep ruby red
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Pleasant plum and blackcurrant. Straight fruit.
Flavour: Unusual as the mid-palate tobacco leaf is the main flavour one remembers from a taste, with the initial straight plum slipping through almost unnoticed. Almost no tannins. Quite ok but nothing interesting.
Points: 80 (3+6+9+6+6+50)
Notes:  At $10 (200 Kc) you get what you pay for. The etiquette is rather nice but the wine is somewhat dull. I think this wine is in the Tabak/Wine shop on Vodickova and is the cheapest Portuguese wine available there

  2. I bought it in Sydney but the label was familiar from when I was looking for Portuguese wine in Prague
