Aldeias de Juromenha Colheita Seleccionada 2009

15.5 / 20
Producer: Herdade das Aldeias
Region: Alentejo
Country: Portugal




Clear garnet in the glass, the bouquet is, at first, dominated by fresh red fruits - more on strawberries and cherries territory. Spices and a earthy feel also appear and, still later, tobacco leaves and other greener notes complete the bouquet. Somewhat different from a typical Alentejo, I think the Cabernet Sauvignon present in the blend has a lot of proeminence here - which is not bad at all.


Intense, almost jammy red fruit in the palate, in a very good balance with the oaky flavors and the spicier notes. Balanced tannins and acidity make it a very round, appealing and enjoyable wine. Nice, medium long ending and an overall good presence and structure, again with the Cabernet Sauvignon in the foreground.
