cortes de cima incognito portuguese red (alentejano)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2198

A wine that has become something of a cult in Portugal, perhaps because of its mystery name (referring to a time when Syrah was not permitted in Portugal). This 2005 keeps the open, ripe blackberry jam fruit, with dark chocolate and herbal flavors. It has a generous, earthy character.——R.V.(7/1/2008)—— 89

This is the young vines cuvee from Cortes de Cima, fruity and juicy, with great dark color, smooth, ripe tannins, and big, open fruit flavors. The aftertaste is hot, from the high (14.5%) alcohol and the jammy berry flavors. Imported by Tri-Vin Imports. ——R.V.(3/1/2006)—— 87

A smooth, rich wine, full of young berries and lively acidity. There are tannins but they are covered with the ripe, jammy fruits which are so full and delicious.——R.V.(12/1/2004)—— 88
