Country: Portugal / Montes Claros Reserva
Variety: Portuguese Red Alentejo
Winery: Adega Cooperativa de Borba /
A densely tannic wine, dry with bitter dark cocoa and black fruit flavors. The concentration of fruit and tannin is impressive, and gives considerable complexity of fruit as it powers alongside the dryness. It needs aging for the rough edges to smooth out, probably 2–3 years.
