2011 vintage. 100% Touriga Nacional from 12 years old vines. Aged in French barriques for 18 months. Dark red with only a little evolution. Holding back in the nose with timid blackberries violet impressions. Powerful wine with a black fruit a bit monolithic, packed with ripe tannin, while remaining very fresh. Long spicy finish. Might deserve a higher score with more bottle age.

These keep getting better. Was a little musty on pop and pour, but day two it’s all deep, lush, dark fruit with a long prune-y finish.

Love these Portuguese wines! 2011 was an amazing vintage and this wine does not disappoint! Lush Black fruit, clove, fennel, and charcoal. Highly recommend.
