Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A crisp citrus-flavored wine, with bright lime and lively acidity. This is a delicious, refreshing lime and grapefruit style of wine, with a tangy mineral edge.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A rich wine, spiced with wood, tannins and sweet, ripe, black plums. The tannins give a granite, mineral edge of dryness, a core of strength in this impressive, structured wine. Wait another year for the black fruits to show through even more strongly.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A tight, juicy wine, with powerful new wood aromas and flavors. The tannins are taut, dense, with a steely mineral edge, cranberry skin structure, followed by bright acidity. Like other Alvaro Castro wines, this needs time to age.

Alvaro Castro Portuguese Red - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A young wine, where the acidity and wood are still coming together with the ripe fruit. There is an edge of austere tannin that is balancing the fresh berry fruits. If this is still a great wine in progress, just wait four years and it will be serious, structured and powerful.
