Review for Quinta da Fata Reserva 2004
Red wine produced by Quinta da Fata in Dão, Portugal-
Dark reddish purple with a concentrated core tapering off to a translucent ring. Dark red fruit on the nose with a touch of wet leaves, kirsch and eucalyptus ending in a long cherry lollipop and black licorice finish. It's surprising how beautifully the eucalyptus seamlessly evolves into a rich licorice finish. The tannins in the beginning are firm and unrelenting, but with time, the acidity becomes brighter and the tannins relax into a round, integrated finish. It's a wine that paired beautifully with wild mushroom soup, and could easily stand up to a roasted chicken, pork or even a hardy lasagna. I would highly suggest this wine and request your wine retailer seek it out!
