3 hour decant. 13%. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Barroca, Touriga Francesa. Decent lightweight wine around red fruits - some signs of bricking - cherries in the mouth - fair finish - pleasant, but not especially exciting.

Drank with a friend of Portugese descent. Wonderful brick color. The nose is wonderfully fragrant with tertiary aromas. The wine is soft on the palate with tertiary aromas again that reminds old bordeaux. The finish is quite simple and short but quite refreshing. My friend, used to more modern and plush wines, did not think too much of it though. Drink-up!
