Lisboa Alicante Bouschet
This Portugese marvel is a very interesting wine. In the glass you see incredibly intense color with deep purple-burgundy edges. Aroma is rich berry with a earthy overtones. The mouthfeel is velvety and there's this interesting along with spiciness. Theres a surprising fruit-forward character backed by richness yet very light tannins. I will need to try this wine with a steak - it has to be excellent.

1 person found it helpfulNov 9th, 2022Densely colored purple with a blue hued core and translucent cranberry rim. Intensely aromatic nose is dominated by violet and rose petal with an undertone of black pepper and cassis. Medium acid, low astringency, a hint of bitterness, medium alcohol 13%. Mouth filling floral perfume violets and tart red berries. Moderate structure, well balanced, medium finish, medium complexity. the aromatics on nose and palate very attractive

Sep 23rd, 2022I really enjoyed this one. Super deep dark reddish purple color. Some dark cherry fruits with rich floral aroma. Some light tannins with a hint of chocolate and spice on the finish. Definitely plan to find this one and drink it again. Thinking Christmas time with prime rib!
