1993 Quinta do Poco do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon

Purchased from http://www.laithwaites.co.uk for around £100 for 12, reduced from significantly more.

I bought these because they are from my son's birthyear and they begin with the word Quinta.

A nice smooth full-bodied wine with blackcurrant and lots of dry tannin. Not a blockbuster by any means but I think this will serve the purpose for which it was acquired, which is to serve with a nice juicy steak on my son's 18th and/or 21st birthday.

Incidentally, Poco do Lobo means "well of wolves" - apparently a pack of wolves once frequented the well on the Quinta.
