  Dark ruby fading to a lighter pink with a thin watery rim. Explosive on the nose with red and dark berry, menthol, and garrigue. Full-bodied with prominent coating tannins, low acidity, lots of dark fruit and vanilla leading to a medium length finish.

  Another great smooth red from the wine region of Alentejo in Portugal. Very interesting blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 35% Syrah, 15% Petit Verdot and 10% Alicante Bouschet. Dark burgundy colour. Aromas and flavours of black berries. Paired with grilled octopus and roasted potatoes in olive oil – the famous “polvo à lagareiro” Portuguese dish. Nice creative label.

  We always love Portuguese reds, but this is definitely a step up. Wow.
