Re: Splendid Isolation by Jancis
Nice article by Jancis Robinson, her writing is always informative.
I'm glad that the Portuguese have for the most part avoided Cabernet but am embarassed to say that years ago I was sold on a bottle of Portuguese Cabernet, a 1990 Quinta de Bacalhoa. Today I rather wish I had bought a Periquita Classico or some other JM Fonseca wine available at the time.
