• Review "
Paulo Laureano’s Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincadeira (40%), Aragonez (40%) and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses." - Vintage Cellar
• I found this red to be rather fruity on the nose. I liked the taste and found it brought a dry plum to mind. It was rather tannic and might go nicely with red meat. Overall decent.
