Quinta de Alcube Trincadeira Syrah 2008

16.0 / 20
Producer: Quinta de Alcube
Region: Setúbal
Country: Portugal







Dark ruby when poured, this wine has an intense and warn nose, where red and black fruits mingle happily with spices and some vanilla notes.


In the palate, the oak is very predominant, with some strong vanilla notes that leave the fruit a step behind. Balanced tannins and a refreshing acidity make this a very inviting wine that maybe just needs a couple of more years in the bottle to balance the oak and the fruit.
