Ah Portugal, here we go, much better than that last bomb from Oz.

Fresh but deep blackberry and plum undercurrent with higher toned red cherry fruit and violets flowers floating on top.

Ripe and medium bodied with medium+ tannins. Very enjoyable and full of character.

Medium plus ruby. Red plum, wet leaves, cloves, nutmeg, walnut skin, bone marrow, pine needles, black pepper, candied bell pepper, eucalyptus. Medium acidity, medium sugar, medium plus alcohol. Guessed it to be an Australian Bordeaux/Syrah blend.

Really good. Nice balance of old and new world.

Kind of like if Grenache was grown in Bordeaux. About to go great with some steaks. Thanks @garagiste!
