Hey folks...hope you're enjoying the snow.
The Wine: Bridao Ribatejo Red 2003
Country: Portugal
Region: Ribatejo
Category: Red Table Wine
Price:$7.99
Dencanted or not: No
Tasting notes:
Color: Very deep ruby red
The Nose: Ripe dark cherry and blackberry. Surprising pepper and spice.
The Taste: Fruit up front, cherries and plum, with a kick of pepper. A little oaky, and bitter. Finish is smooth and fruity, but the aftertaste is bitter. Overall, I don't like it. Maybe I had a bad bottle, but to me the bitterness was quite prominent. Maybe it's because I paired it with turkey meat loaf and spinach, but I did not like it.
The Verdict: 4 corks

WOW, 4 corks! I'll avoid that one. You serving any special or specific wine tonight?
Tonight will likely be a Spanish Jumilla, served with a beef brisket.
At that price you guys are welcome to try it, but for me it was not enjoyable.
You don't know what you are talking about -- this wine deserves 9 corks. try drinking it BEFORE you use mouthwash.
Just kidding, I am sure it sucks.
