Winery 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 spice on the finish. Pair with
spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.
My review: This Classico was a very smooth and delicious red blend. There was an intense hint of dark fruits and spice that gave it an aged flavor. Tobacco is a good way to describe the aroma. This was my favorite of the dark wines.
