| 15.0 / 20 |
Region: Lisboa
Country: Portugal
Dark purple, this red from Lisboa has a intense, ripe nose but somewhat undefined and not very complex. A hint of vegetable, lots of oak, coffee and some chocolate, followed by some dark plums.
Hard, tough wine in the palate with some young, lively and tough tannins very much in the foreground. Fresh acidity that is maybe a bit too much for the wine's structure. Lots of oak notes in a taste that clearly shows a growing, evolving wine.
Needs time to settle down.
