Quinta do Encontro Bairrada Preto Branco

I didn't really decide last time, but I'd bought 2 bottles - this is the last. Not really - interesting, certainly, but does this mix really work? I think not. Reminds me of aubergines - not in taste, but in the sense that I like the first bite, but then, by bite 3 I'm not liking it!

Red and white grapes in the same brew - I had no idea what to expect, but how could I resist? 10 hours in the decanter - good call - it wasn't at all nice at cork pop. This is like a classic big Bairrada wine, with a very subtle side order of high-class apricot conserve - reasonable, but not overwhelming finish. By the end of the night I'll know if I like it, but, so far so good.
