Cova Do Monte

Quinta do Monte d'Oiro

Aurius Estremadura Touriga Nacional Blend 2004

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, dried fruits, coffee, black chocolates and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious 20 year old Touriga Nacional from Portugal. Rich and extracted. Elegant and robust.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

Rich and in your face kind of wine. Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

A blend of Touriga Nacional with some Syrah and Petit Verdot.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$50.

Monte Meão Baga 2013

Rich cherry and black currant nose. Color is purple with a watery thin edge. In the mouth it is not as sweet as the nose is. There is a rather fresh acidity bringing balance. It will be accompanied by the veal cheeks and mash. Looking forward to that.
As the bottle was opened anyhow to use a glass in the stew we already started tasting 😉.

Pleasantly suprised with the 1015 vintage. Very smooth taste, round and not sour at all. The whole bottle went in so smoothly and the tannins gave me no headache, with most wines they do. — 5 years ago

Monte Velho Alentejano Antão Vaz Blend 2021

McCarthy & Schiering, $11

Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles
