Weird little unfiltered red varietal from Portugal. Rich fruit, tart acidity. Very strange and wonderful.
A must try if you like trying the weird stuff.

Sigh me more, @forlornhopewine: Sultana Aixa al-Horrocks suddenly, spontaneously, unexpectedly, without mincing words, rebuked her son Boabdil: 'Llora como mujer lo que no supiste guardar y defender como un hombre.'

Ripe red fruit, but of stone fruit - apricot - and cocoa nib. Delightfully round, supple.

So weird. I don't have the vocabulary to describe this one. Not sure I'd buy it again, but I'm glad to have tried it.
