Quinta do Casal Branco Tinto Quartilho

點擊次數(shù)：3080

The 2006 TINTO QUARTILHO, with just the big “Q” on the front label, is 60% Castelao, 30% Trincadeira and 10% Alicante Bouschet. It was aged for 4 months in a combination of new and used French oak. It is a straightforward wine, but well balanced, with good flavor and more intensity than its Capoeira sibling reviewed this issue. The mid-palate concentration is suspect here and the finish is short, but for a wine in its price category in this vintage, it is a pretty pleasant performance. Drink it younger and you may like it better. Drink now-2011. The wines at this estate fall largely into the value category. The whites, in particular, can sometimes be good deals and outperform their price classification.Importer: For all wines except Quartilho and Capoeira brands: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt.
