The 2008 “TERMEAO” is mostly Touriga Nacional, with 15% Castelao Nacional. Crisp and earthy, with noticeable tannins gripping the palate, this does not show a lot of concentration, but it is elegantly constructed, very persistent and focused. It is an awfully nice value this year if you like its slightly austere, sunny style, comparable to the Entre II Santos reviewed this issue. It is a little fleshier, perhaps slightly less well balanced and slightly more shrill. There were 2,334 cases produced. Drink now-2017. Campolargo is an interesting winery in Bairrada that presents a less traditional face with its various small production bottlings. Manuel Campolargo makes things that are a bit different than the usual fare—Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Bordeaux blends, unusual monovarietals and the like. Modern Bairrada isn’t just about Baga—although they make one of those, too. The wines often provide some nice value, as evidenced by some of the offerings this issue, and the off-the-beaten-track wines often hit the mark.Importer: Tri-Vin Imports, Mt. Vernon, NY; tel.
