  Castelão, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa, aged 8 months in French and American oak (new oak), 13% vol.
  
  From a magnum, opened 8 hours before dinner. On the nose red berries, sour cherry and very fresh, on the palate high acidity, dense with an earthy note, long finish and very elegant.
  
  Nice surprise, a crowd pleaser with depth and for a price you would not expect. Not the first vintage of this wine I had, but the best so far and most probably near to its peak now.

  Dark berry nose. Soft blackberry fruit in the mouth with notable tannins at first but with time in the glass a rather beautiful balanced of fruit, acidity and tannins is achieved. Yum!!

  What a shock. This wine is quality, not complex but straight intense wood with vanilla coffee leather. Packed for only 6 month in barrel! The length is good too. Work really well with a farm chicken en pote.

  Nice wine for the price. Still a bit tannic and could use decanting to loosen it up. Plums, crushed rocks and leather notes. Nice everyday drinking wine with some character other than fruit.
