Dona Maria-Júlio Bastos 2012 Dona Maria Tinto Red (Alentejano)

Country: Portugal / Dona Maria Tinto
Variety: Portuguese Red Alentejano
Winery: Dona Maria-Júlio Bastos /

This is a dusty, earthy wine that has structure rather than fruit. It is tough in tannins that give a dry character to the wine. There is the potential for juiciness as the wine opens up, so wait before drinking. It will be best after 2017.
