Top Notes For

I've rarely encountered great wines from Portugal, especially the (dry) reds. This one was no different. While not a bad wine, this blend was rather non-descript. Stray notes of earth and wild berries were present, but were overpowered by tannins. These did smooth out after a couple of days but the wine just seemed off balance to me. A field blend of indigenous varieties (I was not able to find the exact grapes used). 1/19/22.
