Pretty floral. Roses hips and petals. Flavor has licorice and violets. Complex. Fancy pants. Distinct and delicious. Flavor is nice.

Very different than I'm used to but it is a great, smooth, relaxing glass. Very aromatic, sweet and soft smell bold like shisha. Extremely ripe dark sweet fruit notes no bite like an initial cracked open bottle of CS or PS.

Not as good as the 2011, but still a very enjoyable Douro red for $13.
