Comment on: Casa Ermelinda Freitas 2008
Portugese wine isn't normally high on the list of ones to browse when making a selection but maybe this is the start of a new wave in old vines given a modern twist by mixing them with more popular grape varieties. I was really impressed with the Portugese stand at the tasting I went to and this is similarly spot on. A blend of old resinous pine with some citrus and beautifully balanced. Very drinkable on its own and robust enough to take a range of food including pork. Lovely.<br />Another bottle, equally good. Complexity, fruit, balance, this is the best cure for a hard day in the office I know.....
