  • Critic 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.
  • Tasting Review
  • Paulo Classico has a bouquet of butter and smokeyness. The taste was a bit green with hints of dark fruits and was slightly tart with a smoky/sweet aftertaste.
  • Did not pair with food.
