  Port4olio Tasting (O Hotel, LA): Round nose of cherries. There is an odd funk here I thought might be TCA though my friend didn't. Tannins come on late.

  A blend of 40% Aragonez, 40% Trincadeira and 20% Alicante Bouschet aged 6 months in a combination of new American and French oak. Medium purple core, with medium legs. Clean nose, medium + intensity, youthful aromas of dark ripe fruit, plums, dusty black cherries, garigue, brown sugar and spice box. Dry, medium acidity, medium + alcohol (14.5% abv), dense ripe medium tannins, medium + body, medium + flavor intensity, dark ripe plums, licorice, earthy minerality and black berry with a medium finish. A very good new world style red from southern Portugal, lots of ripe lush fruit with enough nuance and earthiness to keep old world palates interested. About $18 US retail.
