Tasting - Coreto Tinto

Image credit: Vintage Cellar
Name: Coreto Tinto
Variety: Blend
Region: Lisboa
Country: Portugal
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Shop Review:
Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit dominating the warm spice note and acidity. Soft tannins keep the wine together.

My Review:
Definitely not a wine I enjoyed. Dry and bitter are the only two words I wrote down when I tried this wine. Not only was it dry, it left my mouth feeling dry for some time after. As all the tastings for the first few months of this, I would be willing to try it again after my palate has been trained, but for now I probably won’t be buying a bottle for myself.
