Pombal Do Vesuvio Tinto

Description

This “Pombal do Vesúvio” from Symington is a delightful trip down memory lane, evoking a sense of a quinta rooted firmly in the 19th century. Crafted primarily from Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with a touch of Alicante Bouschet, it’s a powerfully concentrated wine, brimming with ripe fruit that’s remarkably charming. Expected to score 90 points, this wine possesses a subtle mineral note, echoing the region’s namesake, and is wonderfully drinkable now, yet with the potential to gracefully mature for a few more years in the bottle. A superb pairing would be with a hearty roasted beef or a rich, slow-cooked beef stew.
