Wine 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.
Personal Review - This was my least favorite wine of the tasting. It tasted warm on my mouth and was hard to finish. I am not surprised to learn that there are tobacco and soft leaver flavorings in the aroma. I would never have this wine again.
Food - I did not try this wine with food.
