Casa Santos Lima, Confidencial Reserva Tinto, Lisboa

Decent every day red for price

Fruit forward Tinto.

A great find at Costco. Smooth easy drinking. Floral bouquet on the nose. Firm tannins with big berry flavors. Nice balance on the finish. QPR is spot on. The cork was dried out and had me a bit worried it may be bad. But was OK. I would not let this sit much longer. Drink now.

Four grape (30% Touriga Franca, 30% Trincandiera, 25% Syrah and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) Portuguese Red Blend. I like the fact that this wine includes native Portuguese grapes and a few French varietals. Aromas of ripe red fruit, plums and baking spices. Red berry, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors. Only 4 months of oak barrique aging, so the tannins are light and the fruit shines through. Touch of tartness on the long finish. Well balanced and nicely structured. Great QPR

Deep ruby color. Rich blackberry on the nose and palate. Decent balance and body. Medium finish. Great value

Wide variation between bottles

Amazing value. Just under $7.00 at Costco. Full-bodied, modest nose, extended finish. Excellent table wine. Could drink this all day.

Love it. The cork was dry and fell into bottle so even with straining and decanting the wine it was wonderful. Smooth great daily wine will buy more from Costco.

Nose seemed like it might be corked, or oxidized but the taste was OK. Not great though. I noticed the cork was one of the smallest i’ve ever seen. Not sure if that’s affecting things. We have another bottle. We’ll try that one soon.

Medium ruby color with slow legs. Nose of strawberry jam, toasted oak and red currant. Black cherry, plum and tea on the palate. Leathery finish with well balanced acidity. Very good QPR.

Decent. Harsh and perhaps slightly off on opening. 2nd day, at room temp, great value for $7. Recommend some air and 65 vs 52.

acheté au Portugal, pas dispo ici à la SAQ. Très bon rapport qualité prix, vin rond et soyeux, tannins souples.
