Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Tinto Procura is a 55/45 blend of Alicante Bouschet and a field blend from old vines (80+ years) aged for 18 months in 70% used French oak. It comes in at 14.8% alcohol. This is where the winery provides a little more depth, becomes a bit more traditional. Still, this is very well balanced, even as it demonstrates persistence on the finish. It tastes great and shows fine concentration. It should age well. This runs around 31 euros in Portugal. There were 5,200 bottles produced.

Description
Susana Esteban Procura Vinhas Velhas Tinto is a red wine that is the result of a meticulous selection of grapes and a passionate dedication to winemaking. The varieties that make up this wine are Alicante Bouschet and traditional varietals from São Mame.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand, using 20kg boxes, followed by a rigorous selection in the winery. Fermentation is carried out in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Subsequently, the wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels. Of these barrels, 30% are new and 70% have been previously used for one year.
Taste
Procura Tinto has a dark red colour. On the nose, it is fruity and intense, but without traces of over-ripeness. Intriguing notes of tobacco leaves, pencil lead and a powerful mineral sensation stand out. These characteristics combine with a light vegetal sensation that adds tension and complexity to the wine. On the palate, it is powerful but sharp, austere but still delicate in tannins, and finishes with a fresh and vigorous flavour.
