Tiago Cabaço, Alicante Bouschet, Alentejano, Portugal, 2012

94
Tasted by: Stephen Brook, Margaret Rand, Steven Spurrier
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2026
A mineral and leafy nose with a palate rich in tobacco and earthy flavours under the spicy fruit and bitter chocolate. Ripe and present tannins on top of the vigorous and muscular palate, balanced and with great ageing potential.
