Wie der Zagalos, ist auch der Quinta do Mouro Vinho Regional Alentejano tinto 2012 Estremoz ein wahres Schnäppchen für die Qualität, die man ins Glas bekommt. Das sieht man auch hier an der Expertenbewertung:

Verkostungsnotiz von Mark Squirtes vom 31. Oktober 2017:
The 2012 Tinto is a blend of 45% Aragonez, 35% Alicante Bouschet, 10% Touriga Nacional and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 14 months in a mixture of 50% new French and Portuguese barrels. It comes in at 14% alcohol. This is a fine offering in this mini-vertical, this being the latest in the brand. It will not be released until late in 2018, about a year from now (2019 for the USA). Showing the finesse of the 2007 but without as much fruit or depth, this is still way too young, a wine that may not be ready even on release despite the late release. Its fresh feel leads to a juicy and flavorful finish but the tannins are a little too aggressive just now. It needs to come around, so plan to hold it a couple more years after release for best results. It may yet be entitled to an uptick.
