Bacalhoa Tinto da Ânfora

16/20 * * * 1/2 ; SAQ: 16$ VISUEL: rubis OLFACTIF: parfum floral GUSTATIF: frais, fruité avec des notes boisées. tanins gouleyants. Il a une belle attaque en bouche et le fruit persiste. Un Portugais fort bien réussi.

Just drank a bottle of the 2008 in Portugal and it was very balanced and some wonderful fruit. A great value.

Wonderful. Full bodied with beautiful fruit and nice structure. Gave my last one away to a friend who helped us with a favor and enjoys Portugese wines.

Fabulous for the price. Dark, luscious fruit, lovely finish.

Full bodied flavour but light on the palate with no tail. Hint of rasberry. Nice deep colour.

60% Aragonez (tempranillo), 20% Trincadeira, 20% Alicante Bouchet. Let this wine breath, straight out of the bottle you'll have a very tight wine with a light body and little to offer. Decant this wine and it blossoms. Tea leaves, cherries, and tobacco nose. Almost medium bodied, medium acidity, and full rich tannins. Black fruits and cocoa focused. Tobacco on the lingering finish marked by tannins that make a lovely return at the swallow. At 8$ paid, the quality is high …

Same notes as before but this time I noticed a subtle and wonderful baking cocoa powder on the nose. Goes great with a'mbriana pizza (cherry tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugola, parmigiano). Totally recommended.

Interesting blend of 50% Aragonez (Tempranillo), Touriga Nacional and 3 more grapes. A solid effort, nice balance, round tannins, great finish. Some wood on the mouth but very subtle. Clove, spices, a hint of vanilla, violets, and black pepper. On the nose, a fascinating kick of cherry candy, ripe strawberries and rose petals. After decanting for 45 minutes, the nose lose intensity but the wine gains on overall balance. Goes nicely with steak. Recommended.

Light in color and flavor, but with a certain level of richness. Tight, but not tart. Very bright fruits with a simple dry finish.

Red blend of tempranillo and touriga. Spice, cherry, and cigar box aromas and cherry flavors, with drying tannins.

Portugal's G7 Producers (Portuguese Ambassador's Residence, London) : 14% This is a blend of aragonez, trincadeira, alfrocheiro, touriga nacional and cabernet sauvignon. It has a very attractive, enticing nose. Interesting palate with layers of three different flavours: there is some ripe, sweet and black, fruit; then some more floral, greener fruit, then an integrated oak feel. Very Good.
