CASA SANTOS LIMA “CONFIDENCIAL” RESERVA TINTO (RED)

$12.99

Wine & Spirits – 90

“This wine shows great diversity of complex aromas, such as red fruits and vanilla. Medium body in the mouth, it reveals again sensations of red fruit, harmoniously integrated with wood notes and fine tannins provided by ageing in 250 litres oak barriques. In the aftertaste, develops smooth and rich flavours, some acidity and complexity, overcoming ripe fruit, chocolate and wood notes. Its dryness and persistence, combined with its fine elegant tannins, put in evidence its great gastronomic and evolution potencial. A wine to keep.”

Ranked #1 by Wine Spectator for “Wineries for Value” from Portugal, the Confidencial Reserva is a big step up in class.
