  This is 45% Touriga Nacional, 40% Tinta Roriz and 15% Touriga Franca. It apparently sees nine months in a mix of new and old French oak. The colour remains a vibrant red/purple. The nose is classic Touriga- all warm, fleshy, juicy red fruits. A touch of spice as well, but only slight. I don't know the percentage new oak, but I have to guess it isn't a lot. The palate carries the impression through, with a touch of purple fruit, finishing mid weight and with relatively gentle tannin. Not overly complex but just delicious. One for drinking sooner than later, although no great rush to open it.
