And at last, I've tasted my first Vinho Verde! Some would point out that a 9-year-old bottle is unlikely to show any typicity of the region, yet here I am with this oldie. And boy, how acidic it is. And also flat (like planet Earth, of course). Yet the bouquet is quite charming. Blackcurrant leaves (or just unripe berries), lemon, medicinal herbs and some petroleum notes. Now I am curious to taste a fresher release.
