Top Notes For

Interesting and unusual. Opens with tobacco and lime notes, rough tanins, but after a good breath comes to balance with black currants, raspberries jam, so e apricots and a pinch of rose pepper. Well balanced tanins, easy drinker, may be slightly over-accidic. Had 2017 vintage in 2026.

A solid red, little reduced in the nose and on the palate, fruit, good acidity, good wine with food with some grip, gets better with some air, little too young,

Some VA on open but cleared up after a bit, floral nose, fruity dark berries mid palate, finishes w a bit of tannic grip. Drinks like a firmer, darker Beaujolais but not quite as nimble or graceful

Le vin qui me réconcilie avec le touriga nacíonal. Bel équilibre, très agréable.

Not a ton of depth. Pretty good.
