Shop Review: "Paulo Laurenano's Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincaderia (40%), Argonex (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."
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg
My Review: Notes of cherry and wood in the nose. Found the taste to be pretty light and not as heavy or "oppressive" like most reds. Possible hints of berries, but not 100% sure that's what I'm detecting.
Tasted without food.
