Quinta do Poço do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon 1986 This historic varietal red Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of Bairrada's winemaking heritage, produced at Quinta do Poço do Lobo by Caves São João. It shows a garnet colour with brownish, mahogany hints. Red and black fruit, floral notes and an evolving complexity of coffee, tobacco and mild spices. Peppery spice, polished yet structured tannins and lively acidity. Long, dry finish with a bittersweet balance. Pairs well with red meats, game and cured cheeses. Serve at 12–14 °C. 12% vol., presented in a 0.75 L bottle. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which lets the aromas breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
