Encostas de Estremoz Alicante Bouschet 2004

15.0 / 20
Producer: Encostas de Estremoz
Region: Alentejo
Country: Portugal







Ripe red fruits (cherries), a vanilla/oaky feel along with jam or candy make up the bouquet for this.


Tasting it, an average structured wine, showing some fruit but feeling a bit tired, I guess. The finish is medium-long but leaves a kind of animal aftertaste which tends to disappear over time. I would classify it as an honest wine for daily consumption (although the 9€ markup might be a bit steep for that).
