Nice blend of 4 grapes gives it some complexity. 2012 has enough age to soften the tannins. More bordeaux-like; not too fruity. Good fruit and earth balance. Not very long, but consistent.

Fully resolved but far from over the edge, more stuffing than your average Pinot/Loire red turkey day offerings.

Quinta do Mouro 08 from Alentejano, #Portugal: Intense, medium-to-full-bodied red, deeply flavorful but with tightly-wrapped tannins. Hints of plum, kirsch, and black olives, with an enduring, velvety finish. As I wrote in my last book, Portugese reds are one of the great secret values.

Ripe fruit, good structure, full body wine, but with a great acidity. Alentejo in its best shape
