Alvarinho Anselmo Mendes Curtimenta 2007

15.5 / 20
Producer: Anselmo Mendes
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal









I must say I was a bit disappointed with this wine, an alvarinho from a renowned producer, Anselmo Mendes. On first approach, it was very closed, with some dried fruits and vanilla in the nose. As it opens, it has some tropical fruit and some mineral notes but it never fully opens. On the mouth, again it does not show fruit, being a very average wine. Maybe I misunderstood it or I did not give it enough time to breathe, but I was expecting more from this.
