Adega Regional de Colares
Chão Rijo Colares Castelão
Colares, Lisboa, Portugal
Castelão and Tinta Roriz blend from outside Lisboa. Very pretty "table red" - medium bodied, red fruit, perky acidity and a good utility infielder for dinner.

2015. Minimal acidity, earthy, does nothing incredibly well but does not disappoint

Just fine. Actually totally great. No superficiality, no empty ambitious artificiality here. Great natural color and acidity. Great natural texture. Great potential for long-term development. Hint of Loire. Old mature vines, structure is not complicated, but the foundation is solid. Authentic aroma and rare combination of depth and transparency. Traditional, artisanal, agricultural, biological, honest wine.

Had the 2011 vintage. Luscious, well rounded. A bit sharp initially but really opened up. Fruity, berry with some tannins. Would try to but if found locally.

Lots of earth and spice. Just ate a heavy meal and this will settle my stomach without being pink and chalky. Happy times.
