Guarda Rios 2008

15.5 / 20
Producer: Vale d'Algares
Region: Tejo
Country: Portugal







Dark ruby to the eye, the aromas start off with ripe red wild fruits, maybe some jam. Later on, a background of spices emerges and still later a hint of vegetable.


Very fresh to the taste, with tamed tannins giving it a good yet simple structure, where the ripe red fruits are nicely integrated with the oak. Finishes with a touch of coffee and toast.


A good example of a Tejo red, where the fruit ripeness is nicely balanced by a fresh acidity. Good choice for a day to day wine.
