The 2005 Tinto, the winery's flagship, is a blend of Alicante Bouschet (49%), Touriga Nacional (34%) and Aragonez from 45 year old vines. There was more Alicante than normal in this year, and it contributes a nice, red fruit nuance on the finish. I tasted this after it had been decanted for several hours in June, 2008, and it was still not clear where it was going. Retasting it in the USA gave me a better idea, as a few months more allowed it to come together. It shows fine depth, adding several layers to the Terra reviewed this issue, those lovely red fruit flavors and a lot of power underneath it all. The balance between mid-palate depth and tannin is quite good, the wine having a relatively refined feel despite its considerable underlying power. This is still not quite ready to drink in my view, although it will be soon. I think it is a step behind the '03 and '04, but it is a pretty nice wine in its own right. It will need to continue to evolve positively in the cellar and han |
