Jancis Robinson MW published her Christmas recommendations in last weekends Financial Times ( 3rd of December 2011), we are pleased to write our Portuguese star – Tinto Da Anfora – made the final cut. Jancis Robinson MW wrote :
Quinta da Bacalhôa, Tinto da Anfora 2008 Alentejo
“Portugal is full of underpriced gems such as this rich blend of Aragonez (Tempranillo) with Portuguese varieties. Playful, satisfying with a flavour that reminded me of marrons glacés. Neat and complete. 14% ”
Reduced to £7.49 Waitrose (£7.99 after 4 January)
She extended her list to 60 reds on her website – for the full list go to http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/a201112012.html
