  9/16/2022 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 92 Points

  Retail $55. 100% Sousão. Under cork. Another fantastic wine from Quinto do Vallado which is quite dark in the glass, with equally dark aromas: plum, blackberry, cassis, black pepper. Yowza. Good, even great fruit, with dark components overpowering pretty much everything else. But there is plenty of zingy acidity as well, even to the point that it dominates the fruit (but in a completely good way). The finish is pretty much as dark as the color would indicate, but somewhat paradoxically, the finish is practically devoid of tannic structure.
