Smooth as Aragonês should be, here is a concentrated wine with obvious power. Its richness gives a velvet character, but underneath that is a series of dark tannins, brooding black fruits. Age for 3–4 years.

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova 2004 Aragonês da Peceguina (Alentejo)
Great red berry fruits mark this wine made from Portugal’s Tempranillo. But it also has typical firm Portuguese dry tannins and a solid structure, which are underlined by the 6 months’ wood aging. A powerful, dense wine that will age over the next 5 years.

Herdade do Esporão 2002 Aragonês (Alentejano)
- $20
The Aragonês is the Alentejo's name for the Spanish Tempranillo.This 100% version, with its huge, solid tannins, and layers of spicy wood, is definitely a hot climate wine. It has richness and ripe, almost new world flavors, while still preserving some element of tannin and dryness which would support some aging.

Cortes de Cima 2004 Aragonês (Alentejano)
A soft, but spicy wine made from the Portuguese version of Tempranillo, giving rounded, silky tannins, balanced with fresh red berry fruits. With its acid highlights, it needs time to calm down, but it should be attractively ripe in one year.
