Good for an inexpensive #organic #wine Altano does a good job, but being in #Portugal, this is a first.

Consistently smooth from start to finish. Mild tannin. No bitterness. Medium bodied at mid palate finishing with robust cherry. Opened 2/28/17

The best way to drink it - pour it into glass and forget about it for 3h. After that time it got deep breath and dense sour cherry body, hint of oak, bit of licorice - perform much much better. Higher acidity and grippy tannins.
