Shop Review: "Caladoc , Alicante Bouschet , Castellan , Pinot Noir , Tinta Roriz , Touriga Nacional.  Great as an aperitif, is a perfect wine for the day-to-day. Excellent addition to dishes with meats, stews, roasts, barbecue, pasta, pizza, vegetarian dishes, Mexican food, Chinese, Thai and cheeses. Excellent with food or by itself. You can follow for example, roasts, barbecue, pasta and vegetarian dishes or made of cheese. Serve at a temperature of 14-16ºC which enhances the fruity, also being much more enjoyable in warmer weather, on a terrace or a party." - Vintage Cellar

My Review: I definitely did not like this wine at all. I am more of a fruity girl, and this wine was extremely dry and bitter. I could sense some oaky smells to this wine, but that was about it because I was so overwhelmed by the dryness and bitterness. I've realized that I get extremely distracted the bitter and dry aspects of a wine, and it makes it hard for me to pull any other flavors from it. 

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
