TN: 2011 Herdade do Mouchao Tinto Alentejo red

[Rune EG]

Decanted 5.5 hrs which worked well. Dark red with tiny light rim. Deep, complex aroma of soil, oak, minerals and hint of herbs. Medium to full body. Powerful in a subdued way, while the elegance is more dominating as a character of the wine. Fruity style, but with elements of oak, minerals and herbs. Nice and distinct tannins, although not dominating. This is a well-structured red wine with good acidity/sweetness-balance. Medium length aftertaste. 94 pts.
