Quinta do Zambujeiro Tinto

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3354

The 2009 Tinto, with just “Zambujeiro” on the label, is the winery’s flagship. Just a cask sample when tasted, it also blends in 40% Petit Verdot for the first time. It looks simply exceptional. Muscular, yet sweet and fresh, it has superb depth, a lingering finish and the structure to support the fine, fresh fruit. At this point, I’d give an edge to the sensational 2007 – but this is just dripping with potential, and it might well wind up being the best of the group. Drink 2015-2028. The vertical of the flagship estate Tinto just labeled “Zambujeiro” was poured for me at the winery in Alentejo, cementing in my mind the place of this boutique at or near the top of Alentejo’s hierarchy. On any short list compilation for the best wineries in the region, this one has to appear. In this report, no one had better results in the region, although Quinta do Mouro equaled them. The stunning 2007-2009 trilogy of wines – not all released; the 08 and 09 not yet bottled – will be as good a trilogy of wines in these three vintages as exists in the region.Importer: World Wine Headquarters, tel.
