Shop Review: "Paulo Laureano's Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincadeira (40%), Aragonez (40%), and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spicy on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses."
My Review: This wine had a beautiful deep red/burgundy color. Its scent was savory with notes of butter and oak. It had a delightful first impression on the tongue, with a taste that reminded me of merlot. It was medium-bodied, a perfect balance of grape flavor that was good and even. I would definitely drink this wine again. Was not paired with any food.
