Rated 92 by Wine Advocate
The 2015 Alicante Bouschet AB was aged for 12 months in new French oak and comes in at 14.9% alcohol. Of the winery's late-released upper-level wines, this is my favorite. It absorbs the wood the best—although this is a long way from a wine that handles its oak perfectly—and it shows brilliant structure, precision and a big finish that still can express the grape. There's a serious backbone, but the tannins are not hard and this drinks pretty well now, thanks to the late release. While oak-a-phobes will want to look away, this is impressive. It should hold for the next decade, maybe more. There were 556 cases produced.
Winery
COLOUR: Deep, concentrated color. AROMA: Complex varietal aroma with black plum, dark chocolate and slight leather notes. PALATE: The classic tannic structure is complemented by intense fruit and a long, spicy finish.

Country: Portugal

One of the oldest regions of Portugal for wine production and vine cultivation is the Bairrada, the lush and clay-rich region responsible for an impressive range of red, white and rosé wines of exceptional quality. As with much of the country, this region benefits from long, hot summers, allowing the grapes to ripen to full maturity and thus carry a wide range of flavors and aromas. However, each region of Portugal produces wines which reach a high level of quality, from the more urbanized regions around Lisbon and Porto, where the famous fortified and Colares wines originate, to the island of Madeira and the Dao river valley, which each have their own distinctive wine cultures. The several thousand years of viticultural history in Portugal has allowed Portuguese wineries to master their own traditional techniques, which are still employed to this day across the country, yielding excellent results for the world to enjoy.
