Tasting - Coreto: Tinto

Name: Coreto 

Variety: Tinto
Region: Lisboa

Country: Portufal

Year: 2008

Price: $6.95

Wine Makers Notes: This red from the Coreto range has loads of dark berry fruit with a hint of new oak creating a soft velvet structure that makes it very easy to drink. Red currant and juicy acidity.

Smells Like: black cherries sitting in a forest. This was the only scent I could detect.

Tastes Like: TART - made me pucker a little bit. The only flavors I could taste were a dark red fruit - not sure what kind, and a strong woody flavor. This wine did have a very long after taste that dried my mouth out quite a bit.
