(CHF8.51 par 1 dl.)
90 Robert Parker -
This wine is protected by an anti-fraud system.
Brownish-red color with nuances.
Clean perfume, intense and showing some complexity, some tobacco and charcoal notes, this then adds a layer of acidity.
Not particularly fleshy, but plenty of tannin.

" Quinta do Fojo 2015 is a blend of typical grape varieties from vines planted at Cima Corgo in 1986, aged for 24 months in used French barrels. It has an alcohol content of 14.7%. This first vintage has already been seen at an earlier stage, but is now on the market. Despite its alcohol content, it seems very elegant. Increasingly, too, it seems pure and captivating. It doesn't seem to have much depth, but on the palate, the fruit lingers with a touch of bitter chocolate. Stones, earth and minerals all seem to integrate. The structure is even better. If this was a sort of second label meant to be easier to drink, it's a dismal failure. As a beautiful second label, it's a great success. There have been 7,000 bottles produced, and we expect them to reach 30,000 eventually." Robert Parker - Mark Squires June 2019 .jpeg)
