Aroma has a touch of diacetyl but it's light enough to be pleasant. Loads of currant and with a heavy cocoa, tobacco, and slate finishing note. Drinks surprisingly light for as dark and heavy as it smells. Very fruity with a lot of acid but a tannic finish that quenches the acid. Very nice wine.

2020 Vintage red reserve wine. Tried for our trip to Portugal. Notes of blackberry and plum and has a long finish like a cab. Since we’re not really red wine drinkers, it takes some getting used to. Served with pasta and meat sauce.
