| 15.0 / 20 |
Region: Bairrada
Country: Portugal
Recently bought at an auction, this was a shot in the dark based only on the assumption that Bairrada wines are supposed to age well.
The maroon, brownish tinged color in the glass was quite inviting and the bouquet followed through, with some balsamic notes, old cupboards, dried plums and some hints of cocoa and chocolate in the background.
Soft bodied, with hints of old leaves, the wine has a balanced acidity. Dried plums and raisins, along with some coffee and cocoa mark the taste that finishes in a medium length finale.
Although it is clearly starting to go downhill, it still is a pleasant, pleasurable wine that will appeal to anyone into old wines.
