Canto Decimo, Alentejo, Red, Portugal, 2008

A very interesting unfiltered red wine. An organic must in this chemical era of ours. Extending to wines, eventually made out of grapes... as this one surely is. A red wine from southern Portugal, a Vinho Regional Alentejano, Canto Décimo, or Canto X, 2008, from Herdade da Madeira Velha.

An Easter gift from Manuel Moura, of famed Oporto's Restaurante Lider. Bless him for that.

An inspiration out of Lusiadas' chant number ten: "odorous wines..."
