TN: 2012 Julio B. Bastos Gran Reserva Alicante Bouschet Alentejo red
Decanted 5.5 hrs which was a bit too much. 4 hrs for next bottle. The aroma is well-integrated with fruit, wood and minerals. Full body. Powerful and elegant. Pleasant and smooth. The taste is showing a nice combination of fruit and minerals. Quite a complex Alentejo red. Medium to long aftertaste. 93 pts.
