Herdade do Esporão, Alentejo (Portugal) Alicante Bouschet 2015

Apr 10, 2024

By Miranda Franco

The 2015 Herdade do Esporão Alicante Bouschet is dense and concentrated with aromas of dried strawberries, currant, smoked flowers, plum skin, orange peel, forest floor, roasted sage, and balsamic.  The palate is still incredibly structured, with firm yet integrated tannins and a beautiful lift of freshness on the finish.  It is driven by earth and minerality, with delicate red and black fruits peeking through dried floral and leathery components that glide into an ultra-savory, dark-berried finish.
