Winery review: "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." - princetoncorkscrew.com
My review: A wine with good complexity. Aromas of deep, dark berries with a vegetable undertone. A woody and plum scent made an appearance on the nose. Red cherries is the first flavor to the palate followed by a dry plum, and finally a little oaky taste. A good wine I will give a definite go on.
