According to the label this is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet varietals. So here's to drinking off the beaten path! Amazingly tart and bright for 7 years of age and half a year of oak. Tart cherries on the nose and palate with loads of acid, almost bordering on citrusy. Notes of chocolatey roundness. Decently structured (though a bit rough) tannins, and an occasional soft buttery flash on the finish that's especially surprising considering how acidic it is. I'd love to try this with a year in new oak. Not bad at all, but really really bright and tannic.

This is a nice if somewhat more tannic full bodied example from the Alentejo. Good balance and acidity, nice finish. Enjoyable with Bacalhao !

De cor rubi intensa, belas pernas. Um aroma predominantemente frutado (aromas, ameixas, framboesas maduras), especiarias picantes, madeira fresca e alguma erva. Acidez alta, taninos médios e macios, álcool alto, porém em balanço. Vinho pronto pra beber, mas pode melhoras em uns 3 anos. Preço alto. Muito bom vinho
