Notes
-----
Beet red in color with pink traces at the edge. I
characterize this wine's character as "furry".  I'm not sure
exactly why but it comes to mind.  There's a luxurious nose
attached to this wine that has an earthy, fabric-like
candied quality. Hints of cigar box, candied red fruits,
menthol.  A nicely complex wine with substantive tannins and
richness.  Its color indicates medium bodied, but the taste
is full-bodied.

Additional Notes
----------------
Almost 200 km east of Lisbon and less than 40 km from Spain, Quinta do
Carmo is situated in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, in the beautiful
Portuguese region of Alentejo.

The Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) purchased 50% of this property
in 1992.
