Coreto Tinto


Coreto
Tinto
2010
$6.95
Region: Lisboa
Portugal

Winery Review:  Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit dominating the warm spice note and acidity. Soft tannins keep the wine together.

Personal Review:  While the winery review claims fruits dominate this red wine, I thought it was very dry, and almost tasted like smoke.  While firewood and timber do not sound appealing to taste, it added a dimension that stood out and was surprisingly tasteful.  It definitely is a wine to be sipped and enjoyed slowly with a meal.
