Some Portuguese Reds: Rich purple color. Aromas of violets, clove, charcoal on top of black currants and roasted figs. Full-bodied, solid tannic grip but velvety, too, and moderating acidity. The black cherry and crunchy dark plum fruit is mixed with a host of savory spices and herbs (clove, bay leaf, black pepper, sage) and notes of fallen leaves and graphite. Complex, structured, but elegant, too, and so good for the money. A blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Barroca.

Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca,Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional
Medium body, bright purple red color. Elegant ripe red fruits, leather, tobacco and floral aroma. Black cherry and currants palate, medium long finish. Fresh, juicy and easy, complex, balanced, refreshing berries acidity, tannic. Best match is a stewed meat or hard cheeses. Open about 6 hours in advance. Serve 18º - 22º. Drink now and next four years.

Sampling the December 8, 2017 new releases (små partier) from Systembolaget (Systembolaget, Stockholm): Alcoholic fumes on the nose, oaky, tobacco, plums in madeira, extracted, blueberries (ripe). Lots of structure. (85-87)

Easy to drink now, or hold a few years (not too long).
Dark garnet in the glass, medium-bodied on the palate, bright fresh cherries.
