  Balanced, a bit of a spicy finish. Somewhat ordinary.

  Big on sharp red fruits and very easy drinking. Soft for a Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional blend. Low tannins and leaning more acidic. Perfect everyday drinker for those looking for a delicious and tasty red that isn't masked with ton of oak to hide the quality of grapes. It's a steal at $10 for those who prefer this.

  It is a very good quality wine with a nice balance between fruit and tannins, a decent finish and some complexity. However it comes out rather alcoholic. Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 2-3 years.

  Not the kind of wine I like. Too fruity and unbalanced for my taste.
