Villa Santa 2000 Joao Portugal Ramos Vino Regional Alentejano

I don't really know much about the wine as far as grapes are concerned.

On openning I thought this wine was corked so I poured what was in my glass back into the bottle and openned another. Same musty corked aroma. WTF.

So I recork the second bottle and repour from the first and reluctantly drink.

After about 20 minutes the mustiness is gone and all this full ripe fruit appears.

Firm tannins as well with a good dose of acid. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

The next day I try again.

The tannins have softened much but all this gorgeous ripe dark fruit is leaping from the glass along with some nicely integrated oak.

So I'm reading the back label and it says the grapes are...............................................aragones, trincadeira,cab/sauv and alicante bouschet.

Now that's a mouthfull and a nice one at that.

Sorry, can't remember what I paid for the wine.
