The Wine Advocate« finden sich 66 Verkostungsnotizen zu portugiesischen Weinen. Zu den dort von Mark Squires vorgestellten Weinen gehört auch
João Portugal Ramos’ ›
Loios Tinto 2008‹. Für den Roten aus dem
Alentejano gab es 89/100 Punkten. Im Original schreibt Squires folgendes:
„The 2008 Loios, one of Ramos’ entry level wines, is often a decent under $10 value. This year’s version is lacking in mid-palate concentration (what do you want for under $10?), but it is nonetheless bright and charming, friendly and fun, while remaining as real wine, not some fruit bomb. The acidity does it some good. There is a bit of a kirsch note that gives this just a little flamboyance. I suspect this will be a party favorite for uncomplicated drinking. Drink now.”
