Quinta do Pinto 2013 Vinhos do Lasso Garrafeira Tinto
A Garrafeira is traditionally simply a wine held in bottle longer before release. From the exceptional 2012 vintage, this bottle started out life as the Colheita Seleccionada. But see what a difference four years make, imbuing the wine with a beguiling liquorous quality and a tarry overtone. The composition is also slightly different, as both Tinta Mi�da and Alfrocheiro were employed at that time. Superb wine.
