Erneut gut bewertet: der
VINHAS DO LASSO COLHEITA SELECCIONADA TINTO 2012 von
Quinta do Pinto. 88/100 Punkten vergibt Mark Squires von
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate für diese Einstiegscuvée aus Alenquer/Lissabon, erzeugt aus den
autochthonen portugiesischen Rebsorten
Aragonêz,
Touriga Nacional,
Tinta Miúda und
Alfrocheito Preto. Über ihn schreibt er:
„The 2012 Vinhas do Lasso is a blend of Touriga Nacional (25%), Aragonez (60%) and Alfrocheiro (15%), aged for nine months in French oak (second and third year). This shows respectable concentration for the price level, fine intensity of flavor and reasonable structure. In its relative youth, it even seems rather tightly wound, taking some time to open, at which point the rich flavors emerge. This is well done and a very nice deal. This will be released in U.S. this fall, although it is already released in Europe.”
