Estimate
...tannins are very ripe...grip on the finish and the fruit lingers beautifully. It is very suave and refined.
A generous, powerful red, with violet notes flanking the blackberry and cherry flavors bound together by vibrant acidity. Underpinned by spice, tea and wild herb notes, this concludes with a lingering, smoke-tinged finish.
Intense and intensely perfumed aroma that combines the dark fruit and violet character of Touriga plus the spicy sweetness of the oak...scented character on the palate, with a touch of bergamot but mostly rich, sweetly spiced, lightly toasty black fruit, blackberry and mulberry rather than cassis. Long spicy aftertaste.
