Quinta do Portal Tinto Reserva 1999

Post by RonnieRoots »

Tasted February 2004:
Nice and spicy on the nose. Medium bodied wine with lots of cherry flavours, as well as lighter red fruit, some oak, and a rather high acidity (not bad though, it makes it nice and fresh). A rather supple, smooth wine. If I had tasted this wine blind, I would have guessed it to be a rioja. IMHO, it's not a typical Portuguese style. 88 Ronnie Roots points.
