Casa Santos Lima
Quinta do Espirito Santo Red Blend
Lisboa, Portugal
Dark berry in the forefront on both aroma and taste. Nice depth of flavor, balanced acidity with a hint of vanilla, a touch of zippy spice and nearly tannin-free finish. It's a blend with the Tinta Roriz #port grape which brings the dark dried berry richness. There's quite a lot of interesting layers in this young #portuguese red.

Bold cherry and almost smoky blueberry flavors paired very well with spicy Szechuan food, yet the surprisingly thin body made for an easy drink. (2013 vintage)
