Symington Family Estates
Altano Douro Tinta Barroca Blend
Altano is produced by the Symington family, known for their long history of producing Vintage Ports in the Douro, under such labels as Grahams, Warres, Dows and Quinta do Vesuvio. Dark red, a blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca, with floral and sweet fruity aromas. On the palate sweet cherry fruit, gentle spice with juicy tannins. Medium finish with good balance, needs food to enjoy.

The berry-ness is so smooth. Tannins are almost rustic. Really liked this.
