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 terror 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.
This wine had a very sweet smell. Like most red wines it gave off that textbook black cherry and caramel smell. I also got a hint of cocoa with this wine. This wine also gave off a very woody, earthy scent that was strangely inviting. The taste was incredibly bitter and very dry. It was uncomfortable almost to drink this wine and I probably would not recommend it to anyone.
I did not eat food with this wine.
