Varietals: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional
Alcohol: 13.5%
Reviews: “Lovely focused dark fruits nose of cherries, berries and plums. The palate is bright, fresh and precise with lovely presence and some nice grippy structure. Good acidity, with a hint of meatiness on the finish.” 90 pts (Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, March 2010)
“Open, fruity, fragrant floral and spicy, this has a nice, traditional appeal, without excess of ripeness, oakiness or herbal character. The palate is likewise juicy and fresh, elegant and refreshingly lean, making this a fine, food-friendly wine. Nicely balanced and very drinkable all around.” 88 pts (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)
“Cinnamon and spiced potpourri invite on the nose along with pepper and musk. Palate is firm and better structured than most in this release. Plummy texture with notes of stone and lead as well as juicy blackberry. Finish is above average in length and unfolds to unveil further complexity.” 88 pts (Sara d’Amato, winealign.com)
