Arcossó Bastardo Tinto

Description

Right then, let's have a look at this Arcossó Bastardo... This isn’t a wine that’s here to make friends; it’s a straight-talking, characterful beast. Grown on the rugged schistous slopes of the Douro, this Bastardo – as you’d expect – delivers a wonderfully robust body and intensely expressive tannins. You genuinely taste the terroir, and the finish is remarkably persistent, demanding a hearty roast or perhaps a beautifully slow-cooked black pork dish to really sing.
