Tasting #22 - Red

Name: 2008 Coreto Tinto
Grape: Tinto
Color: typical red coloring
Smell: soft and buttery, little fruit and spice
Taste: creamy, oak, red fruit of some sort
Dryness/Sweetness: mildly dry
Food: just tasting
Country/Region: Lisboa Region, Portugal

Alcohol Content: ?
How much? $6.95
Where’d you try it? Vintage Cellar
Would you drink it again? At least one more time – that’s why I bought it.

Extra thoughts? I wanted to see if I could detect more of the “velvety” texture and “red currant” from the description below. Plus it tasted pretty good for $7.

Other reviews:

From the Vintage Cellar:
"This red from the Coreto range has loads of dark beery fruit with a hint of new oak creating a soft, velvet structure that makes it very easy to drink. Red currant and juicy acidiy."

My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
