2017 Quinta do Infantado
Posted: 22:55 Wed 01 Feb 2023
An incredibly dense purple colour with only the tiniest of rims. Sweet bramble fruit on the nose. Nicely balanced entry, the fruit quickly overwhelmed by the tannins on the mid-palate. The tannins and acidity overwhelm the fruit and provide a massively powerful wine. The green tannins dominate the aftertaste and long finish. Eventually this wine will settle into a good balance, but it’s made in an old-fashioned style and will take 2-3 decades. 88/100. Tasted 17-Jan-23. Decanted 2 hours.
