From tasting in Porto. Castalao grape, Setubal region. On the nose, jammy dark fruit, dried roses, a little mint, almost a melon flavor like cantaloupe. Balanced fruit and acid, but very strong tannins, long lasting. Needs more time in the bottle

3 hour decant. Big big wine - night with a hint of purple - interesting nose - I was getting some citrus even (yes, the glass was clean) - elegant legs - full-on flavour nicely balanced on a rough edge and enough acidity - disappointingly a bit short at the finish - worth checking back in 5 years.
