Red Blend
Big #touriganacional #tintaroriz #syrah #alicantebouschet 35/25/25/15% blend. First day it’s venting off the vanilla from oak but day 2 out of the wine fridge and it’s much more interesting. Purple black in the glass. Dense bramble fruit, slate and pepper aromas, solid acidity and moderate soft tannins avoids the flabby trap. The winemaker seems to be improving every vintage. #wsjwineclub

Oct 9th, 2020Decent wine with a bit of a bitter finish, but definitely more floral than expected.

May 2nd, 2020Dark plum color with bold currant notes. No subtlety here, so serve it with grilled burgers or ribs.

Mar 23rd, 2020Deep purple colour. Smells of jammy black fruit. Tastes of concentrated cooked fruit with savoury biscuit edge. Not much acid but grippy. Dry but with a syrupy thickness. Nice but for me it’s too heavy and lacks freshness to be more than occasionally enjoyed.

Feb 12th, 2020LOVE the tannins in this wine - it’s perfect. It’s got very light and smooth aromas with a round taste to it and a smoky finish. (Fun fact - the grapes are grown in a “Jurassic Landscape” alongside Dino fossils so that’s pretty cool)

Jan 18th, 2020Color is quite dark with different shades of purple. Nose of dark fruits like cherry, vanilla, oak, prunes, a bit wet mushroom, more vanilla, and some more dark fruits. Taste is quite silky, a bit sweet hickory note, mouthful, vanilla note, smooth and no edge with a bit zesty note. Aftertaste with addition of some acidity, a bit peppery, low tannins and easy to drink. Surely has backbone of Syrah in her.
