Anselmo Mendes Muros Antigos Escolha 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
Portugal, Vinho Verde
R170
‘The 2022 Muros Antigos Escolha is a blend of 40% Loureiro, 40% Avesso and 20% Alvarinho, unoaked and coming in at 11.9% alcohol. This is a fresh and lively blend that shows great in its youth. It lacks the prestige of some of the other offerings in this report, but that also means you can get a lot for a little. (It's an even better value in Portugal.) It's perky and relatively expressive, and it has the acidic backbone to allow it to age a reasonable time. I wouldn't hold it too long, though, even with the winery's good reputation for aging, as its exuberance is a major part of its appeal today. This will likely be at its best when very young. It drinks great now. 2023-2029’ – Mark Squires, Wine Advocate, 88/100
