In general, this is rather modern-day styled however still keeps more than a hint of authenticity. Great for the cost. (4. 99 Tesco) 11/99 Quinta da Giesta 2000 Branco, Beiras, Portugal, An intriguing blend of the Malvasia Fina and Bical grapes, this Portuguese white has a fragile, fresh lemony/floral nose.

99 Majestic) 10/01 A new task initiated as recently as 1991, with 10 Ha of vines planted in 3 plots. 50% Touriga Nacional in the blend, and 50% is matured in New Allier oak. Concentrated purple/black colour, this has an excellent intensity on the palate, with firm tannins and some brand-new oak character.

Moderate tannic structure, with some cherry fruit and very little else. Lacks the seductive nose and abundant texture of the previous vintage. Could https://blogfreely.net/karenfuel01/portuguese-wine be down to bad oaking? It is not a bad red wine, it is just extremely normal and rather uninviting. (4. 99 Tesco) 02/00 Touriga Nacional/ Jaen.

On the taste buds this is soft and rounded, with an attractive herbiness, more cherries and a touch of blackcurrant and chocolate. Very good wine: contemporary, however still genuine, and rather like a new wave Southern French red in character.

(4. 99 Tesco, Thresher) 10/99 Light ruby in colour, this has a soft nose of herbs and wet stones. There is soft, ripe cherry fruit, moderate acidity, no oak and a medium concentration. A little plonkish, however for the cost this is well made. Once again, lots of resemblance with low end burgundy.(Thresher, 2.

Leafy, herby nose is followed up on the palate by soft red fruit (cherries) and moderate tannic structure, a few of which is no doubt contributed by a touch of brand-new oak. Tips of spice, olives and coffee add to what is a relatively complicated, burgundy-style wine that is perfectly created.

The only a little unfavorable aspect is that there are some old woody notes on the taste buds. It would be tough to find a much better port at this price. Great+ (9. 99 Majestic) Passadouro 1995, Douro, Portugal, Quinta do Passadouro is an estate run by Dirk Niepoort (although he does not own it), and this is a wine Id had cellared for a few years.

Very good 04/01 (Purchased a couple of years ago for 7. 99 at Odbbins) 04/01 Sandemans Vau Vintage Port 1997Sandemans has had a combined reputation in recent decades, but signs are that they are getting back to leading form.

This is a thick purple/black colour. Terrifically thick on the taste buds with masses of sweet, liqouricey plum, cherry and damson fruit and notes of tar and spice. Company, spicy tannins offer lots of structure, and although this isn't as unapproachable as conventional vintage styles would be at this stage, it's a huge white wine that will age well for a decade or so.

On the palate the oak is hard to choose among the extreme flavours of bitter cherries and herbs. It is a tight, still-youthful structured red wine with the prospective to age well however currently revealing some herby, earthy interest. Savoury and dry. Extremely excellent. (7. 99 Fuller's; 1997 is 9.
