Sur une dégustation hier avec 6 autres vins c'était le préféré et le moins cher.
Vin charmeur et très fruité, aux odeurs de salade de fruit: poire, fraise, surot et pamplemousse. Rappelant les chiliens. Jamais senti ça dans un rouge, encore moins d'une sirah. Zéro poivre la-dedans. J'ai bien apprécié en bouche, le fruit explose mais encore rien à voir avec la sirah sur une finale un peu suret. C'est inéressant mais je me questionne sur le potentiel de vieillissement de ce vin.
Je me demande si c'est pas un peu "boosté" ce vin là ce qui dénature le fruit (osmose inversé et tout le tralala)? Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez.
Mais j'aime bien quand même.

Salut Tipif,
Sûrement pas d'osmose inverse pour ce vin. Ça me semble un producteur avec une mentalité nouveau monde toutefois.

The story of "Incógnito"
When Hans and Carrie Jorgensen saw Cortes de Cima for the first time in 1988, they knew that this was the place they had been searching for. The rolling hills reminded Carrie of her native California, and the sunny Mediterranean climate was the contrast to chilly Denmark for which Hans had been longing!
From the start, they did things differently from local custom, i.e. planting red wine varieties in a traditionally white wine area, introducing Syrah, (and at the time illegal!), using an untraditional 'New World' trellis system- just to name a few. When they bottled their first Syrah varietal in 1998, they were stuck on how to label it, since Syrah was still 'illegal' as a 'Vinho Regional' grape variety, so they called it 'Incógnito´.
Vintage 2003
BUD BREAK was 6th March, accompanied by hot and dry Carnival weather. Flowering was first observed in the vineyard on May 11th. The heat was a delaying factor in the phenolic maturity of the grapes. Vindima (harvest) started 26th August under a slow tempo, as Hans carefully selected only the ripest areas in each field for harvest, leaving the rest for further maturing. In contrast to last year’s freak September rains, this year’s harvest was under the usual clement Alentejan skies, with only a single day of rain recorded. Last day of harvest was the 5th of October. Baumé averaged around 14,5.
Winemaker's comments
Deep, intense, purple red colour. This Incógnito is an intensely concentrated Syrah, with spicy, peppery aromas of blackberry, licorice, plums and molasses. The palate is rich with huge flavour intensity, with toasty oak tannins. The wine has great length and structure with beautiful balance.

Ripe and rich, its cassis and damson nose is lifted by grassy scents. Long, full Morello cherry palate.

Heute ist der kraftvolle, von opulenter Beerenfrucht und massiven Tanninen geprägte Incógnito nicht nur ein Synonym für 'Syrah Alentejano' sondern eine Ikone des neuen, selbstbewussten Alentejo. - 9/2005 Der Feinschmecker
Fruit and juicy, with great dark color, smooth, ripe tannins, and big, open fruit flavors. - RV - Wine Enthusiast 3/06
This has become a bit of a cult wine in Portugal. It’s a varietal Syrah, and displays a full, rich, spicy tarry nose with nicely defined fresh red berry fruits. The palate is open with more berry fruits and some lushness. It’s a seductive style of wine. Very good/excellent - Jamie Goode
