| 14.5 / 20 |
Region: Tejo
Country: Portugal
An unusual blend from the Tejo, as Tamarez is usually used - as far as I know - along with several other types and not with just another grape type.
Staged in oak for 3 months, it has a light golden color. The nose clearly shows its time in the cask, as all the aromas point at oak: smoke, some honey-like sweetness, a buttery feel. Behind this, maybe some faint sweet white fruits.
Quite soft bodied in the mouth, it is also mainly focused on oak notes with the fruit taking a background seat. Finishes quite briefly, with some citrus notes.
A simple, pleasant wine but where the oak seems to have made too much of an impression in some ways, keeping other components in the background.
