Carlos Reynolds Tinto 2020

Thomas Reynolds, an English seaman and merchant, arrived in Portugal in 1820, attracted by the potential of the wine trade. He settled in the northern town of Porto with his two sons, Thomas and Robert, and from there they supplied their London store with a variety of products from the Iberian Peninsula. The Alentejo soon became the resting place in Portugal of the Reynolds family and of Robert, the family patriarch. It was here that his first son, Robert Rafael, was born, who later had a son called Carlos.

A wonderful, young, fruit led wine with great integration of fruit and tannins by aging in French Oak. This wine is full bodied with intense aromas of fresh black fruit. On the palate it is both elegant and silky with dominant dark fruit, blackcurrant and plum flavours, oak, spice, vanilla. The soft tannins provide excellent balance to the wine. Good length in elegant finish.

The producer suggests consuming a glass with an everyday meal at home. It is a natural and healthy product that should be drunk as part of an enjoyable daily meal. Relatively young and fresh ages well in which case it should be decanted as all its older Reynolds siblings.
