Label reminds me of ceramics found in the seaside and mountain villages near Lisbon. This blend is absolutely stunning: Touriga National (37%), Tinta Amarelle (22%), Tinta Cao (22%), and Cinsault (19%). Sour cherry, plum, and funk/musk on the nose. More of the same on the pallet with raspberry and a hint of liquorice. Earthy minerality with silky tannins and a hint of oak. Thrilled to see obscure varieties from the Barossa Valley coming together to make something so luscious and interesting.
