Quinta do Montalto
Uncondemned Medieval
Lisboa, Portugal
I have no idea(yet) of the grapes in this.
The label says the vines are up to 140 yrs.
N: Lots of blood, tobacco, saline qualities. Poured blind, one may think an earthy burg that’s young. Some dark berried fruit. Liquorice.
P: Very delicate, much lighter on the palate than the nose would lead. Open for an hour, no tannic grip yet. Lots of woodland flavors. Tempered ( my guess) by an Atlantic clime. Easy , yet 14°
Glad it came home with me.

Supremely balanced. Crunchy crunchy fruits with an intriguing grippy finish. Aciditiy and minerality that just begs for some fats.

FLavours of strawberry, blackberry, with violet, wet earth and game. Notes of stewed cherry and baking spice. Mineral hints on finish
