Black currant, plum, toast, and vanilla on the nose. Fruit-forward palate follows with more black stone fruit—cherries and plums. Medium body. Tannins are fine and silky, tightening on the back end along with an acidic lift that provides a finish that is short but crisp. Solid weeknight bottle.

Very pleasing Portuguese red made from 70% Castelao, 20% Alicante Bouschet, and 10% Touriga Nacional. Medium ruby in the glass. Aroma profile is a tad muted, but plum, strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs, and smoked meat are present. Firm structure, and good mouthfeel to this. Strawberry, currant, and a bit of mocha. All in all a solid offering from Laitewaites.
