| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Portuguese red wines range from fairly light-bodied dry reds to full-bodied dry red wines as well as sweet Porto from the Duoro in the north. The grape for this little gem is Castelão, which comes from Southern Portugal. Aromas of berries and spice greet the nose, with some suggestion of lavender or something summery and floral. On the palate, supple tannins and great fresh dark berries and hints of dried dark fruits link to form a satisfying taste experience. A superb food wine with a wide variety of foods. First-class value. Foods: creamy chicken liver pâté with black pepper; penne pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and olives; roast chicken or Cornish hen; grilled duck breast with five-spice powder; roast pork loin or tenderloin; mild sausage and peppers, Portuguese-style chorizo and linguiça (if not too hot); legume dishes with good seasoning (but not hot); meat-based casseroles; aged firm cheeses, ripe Taleggio and soft, creamy blues.
