(at Weekday Wines Tasting, 04 Jan 2023)
Drinking Window: 2023 - 2033
An ambitious blend of Aragonês, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Syrah. Dense, spicy black fruit aromas, with hints of leather, plum and dried, woody herbs. Full, deep and concentrated palate, loaded with dense black fruit. Layers of leather, spice, cigar box, dark chocolate and fresh brambly notes, with smooth tannins and a long finish. Will continue to evolve in bottle.
