  100% Touriga Nacional, one of the native varietals of Portugal.
  
  Aged 20 months in French Oak.
  
  Color is a black as night dark purple.
  Nose has an interesting element of herbal, spice notes, almost like pine/spruce needles.
  In the mouth the wine is powerful, coffee, intense fruit, with a very tannic, slightly bitter finsih.
  Lay this baby down for at least 2 more years, perhaps 4-5.
