Casa Santos Lima 2004 Sousão (Estremadura)

Variety: Sousão Estremadura
Winery: Casa Santos Lima /

Bitter chocolate and dried apricots vie with each other in this curious wine. It is certainly too big and rich for its own good, a blockbuster of a wine, but without the complexity that could compensate. What is here are very ripe plums, and a layer of dry, bitter tannins.
