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.

Very drinkable. Smooth and tons of berries. A bit on the sweeter side.

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

A fine expression of Portuguese Alicante. The High Plains region of Texas has quite a few young plants in the ground, need to arrange a side by side.

I 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!
