The Winery Review: Paul Laureano's Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincaderia (40%), Aragonez (40%) and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.
My Review: I like the name of this variety Tinto Classico it makes sound more fancy. In all honesty I have never heard of this type of wine until I want to the tasting. What through me off with this wine is I could smell the dryness if that is possible and along with the dryness it had an earthy smell. I taste of this wine was a mixture of dirt and a little sweet like dropping a candy in the dirt and licking it clean. This wine also tasted a little dry. I would give this wine 8 out of 10.
