Sipping Fine Wine

9.5

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh, ripe dark fruit and notes of sweet cacao and spice, blend of Touriga Nacional 60%, Touriga Franca 30% and Sousão 10%, and at 113 grams per liter of residual sugar. On the palate pronounced flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and currants with notes of cacao and espresso. Well balanced, fine tannins, still tight, long finish ending with ripe juicy fruit, spice and earthy character. Very Nice! I would wait another 5 years! — 9 days ago

Some heft and hefty tannin from the aglianico; the piedirosso keeps it light on its feet. Had to drink some Napoli red with the New Haven style apizza. 2018 — 8 months ago

Consistent notes but more time to appreciate the florals and weight.. like a well-dressed Italian Viognier. — a month ago

Beautiful purity and elegance here from the Douro, extremely pretty with good fruit, spice, and floral interplay. Some underlying wood and stone. — 8 months ago
