Region: Lisboa DOC
Vintage: 2011
Closure: Cork
Colour: Dark purple
Alcohol: 15.0%
Bouquet: Lovely, dried grapevine and dusty aromas with some tobacco leaf as well
Flavour: BIG. Equal measure of oregano and rosemary herbs flavours with some Vegemite/Marmite flavours of yeast extract. Secondary flavours of wood, think hints of oak with grainy, gripping tannins. An amount of acidity holds this together as well. Full bodied with nice length. So many descriptors.
Points: 88 (3+8+12+7+8+50)
Notes: The second of a few Portuguese wines bought in a mixed case. Lovely drinking. About $14 here. Excellent etiquette as well. Definitely big. Not sure if to everyone's taste.
