Tasting - Coreto Tinto


Name: Coreto Tinto
Variety: Tinto
Region: Lisboa Region
Country: Portugal
Year: 2008
Price: $6.95

Critic Review: This red from the Coreto range has loads of dark berry fruit with a hint of new oak creating a soft, velvet structure that makes it very to easy drink. Red currant and juicy acidity.

My Review: The evergreen flavor of this wine is reminiscent of the smell of the air during an early morning hike in an forest.  While the wine was smooth and enjoyable, there was a very unpleasant rubber aftertaste.

I did not taste this wine with food.
