The 2004 TERRA DO ZAMBUJEIRO is a nice one-two punch, and provides some considerable value. This is a mid-level wine from this winery. The 2004 TERRA DO ZAMBUJEIRO is beautifully balanced, with a backbone and grip on the finish. It is a blend of 26% Aragonez, 25% Periquita, 23% Trincadeira, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Alicante Bouschet. It is penetrating, and a little brooding, perhaps a bit closed at the moment. It lacks the exuberance of the 2003, but has better focus and more harmony, and a sensual texture. It should repay cellaring. Its fruit is also ripe and extremely pleasing when it finally opens up. It will not be released until 2008. Drink now-2015. Score - 91. (Mark Squires, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2007)
