Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
Paulo Laureano’s Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincadeira (40%), Aragonez (40%) and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.
Personal Tasting Notes:
Extremely, dry wine that I did not personally enjoy. Although I feel this wine would pair very well with a red meat such as steak. Also though it had a very strong bouquet of tart cherries, and perhaps raspberry. There was a very dark plum coloring to the wine.
This wine was tasted without food
