medium/full bodied, not overly powering with dark fruits, subtle notes of cherry and peppers, decent but smooth finish. Grapes made of Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca, & Tinta Roriz.

Seems on its way out maybe? Still good, but a hint of funk.

Robust Portuguese red blend with fine tannin and notes and tobacco, served with TMS classic meatballs in Toronto

Meh - rough around the edges - rustic, astringent, unresolved mid palate- decent red fruit but was expecting a lot more.

A little sharp, not as good day 2

2010. 15 cad$. Nice and easy. Really great especially for the price

Good stuff
