  This is the elderly ladies' choice of pungency: Heliotrope, roses, nepeta, hyacinth and lilac. The flowery aroma profile is active on both nose and palate. Palate also adds the fruity aroma of better grapes.
  Structurally, this is a young, very well knit Portugese wine offering more in terms of future promise than instant gratification. Acids and tannin are M+, medium body but with very fine intensity.
  ...but the aroma profile... Terrible! Unless, of course, you're in to such aromas.
  If we had more, the next one would be for ~2019.
  Home dinner, wife's yakiniku and side dishes of sprouts, natto etc. *Yumm*
