Quinta do Zambujeiro Tinto

點擊次數(shù)：3506

The 2007 Tinto with just “Zambujeiro” on the label is the winery’s flagship, a blend of Touriga Nacional (44%), Alicante Bouschet (30%) and Aragonez (26%). At least until the 2009 is bottled, and perhaps even after, this seems to be the best wine yet made by this very fine boutique. Simply gorgeous and utterly delicious, it is succulent and cool, with surprising elegance and finesse, fine structure, good balance and nice acidity. This winery has no problem with stunning and delicious, but there is a lot of refinement here, too. It is a wine that still has a lot of potential left to achieve and it kept exploding in the glass, despite having been opened the day before. It has the potential to be brilliant. There were 6,900 bottles made. Drink 2014-2027. The vertical of the flagship estate Tinto just labeled “Zambujeiro” was poured for me at the winery in Alentejo, cementing in my mind the place of this boutique at or near the top of Alentejo’s hierarchy. On any short list compilation for the best wineries in the region, this one has to appear. In this report, no one had better results in the region, although Quinta do Mouro equaled them. The stunning 2007-2009 trilogy of wines – not all released; the 08 and 09 not yet bottled – will be as good a trilogy of wines in these three vintages as exists in the region.Importer: World Wine Headquarters, tel.
