Quinta Do Pinto Grande Escolha Tinto

Description

This Quinta do Pinto Grande Escolha has clearly had a passionate conversation with French oak. Hand-picked with careful selection of the bunches, it hints at the intensity to come. The influence of 2- and 3-year-old barriques of Touriga Nacional delivers a lovely honeyed sweetness alongside floral notes, whilst retaining the vibrant red fruit that’s characteristic of the Syrah. A rich and powerful wine with luxuriously smooth tannins – perfect with a hearty beef roast, or even a lamb chop if you’re feeling particularly adventurous. 90 points from Robert Parker confirm this is an experience, not just a good drink.
