Marcio Lopes 2020 Anel Reserva Tinto 750ml

Márcio Lopes 2020 Anel Reserva Tinto opens with an expressive, mineral-tinged nose of dark cherry, wild blackberry, crushed violets, and subtle herbal notes, underscored by graphite and a hint of smoky spice. On the palate, it is taut and energetic, balancing ripe yet restrained fruit with brisk acidity and finely grained tannins that lend both precision and depth. Layers of sour cherry, plum skin, and savory earth unfold with air, while judicious oak adds texture without obscuring the wine’s sense of place. The finish is long, fresh, and saline, marked by stony minerality and a quiet persistence that speaks to Márcio Lopes’ low-intervention approach and the elegance of northern Portuguese terroir.
