Ripe fruit is balanced by judicious oak ageing (just six months in American barrels) in this juicy blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz. Spice and smoky notes overlay a melange of blackberries, raspberries, plums and herby bramble notes on the nose and palate. Plenty of bang for your buck here.
