Winery Review: Paulo Laureano’s Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincadeira (40%), Aragonez (40%) and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.
My Review: This red wine had a brownish red color to it. It smelled like sharpees again and a hint of chocolate. It also smelled like a variety of black fruits. It tasted a little bit like chocolate. It kind of had a dull taste. I did not enjoy this wine.
