Herdade do Arrepiado Velho Tinto 2018

88POINTS

16/20

Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis powerful, rich Alentejo touriga nacional leaps from the glass with giant purple and blue fruits and florals: blackberry, cassis, dark plums, iris, violets. Tannins are chewy and firm, housing the plump, potent fruit to a lingering, warming finish. This was native fermented in a mix of inox and large oak vats before resting for a few months in the same. Antonio Maçanita (of FitaPreta) is the winemaker for this project. Requires time in bottle, or grilled lamb to tame now.Tasted: 15 September 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
