Tasting: April 27th 2017
Name: Companhia das Quintas Portas da Herdade Reserva
Variety: Portuguese Red Blend
Region/Country: Alentejo, Portugal
Year: 2012
Winery Review: Big, bold and ripe, it has concentrated fruit flavors that give black plum juice and acidity, while the tannins still show strength and power. The blend of Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez is coming together richly and with density. It needs to age, so don't drink before 2016. 90 points - Roger Voss (site)
My Review: Strong tannic smell with dark berry notes that resemble plum, pomegranates, and boysenberry. When you taste this red there isn't much flavor besides dried plums and maybe some smokey notes. It's full bodied with a very dry finish. This wine would pair very well with prime rib and steak.
