Very dark red, purple rim. Nose is powerful! Dark fruit, plum, blackberries, blackcurrant. A little vanilla, licorice. Really sticking my nose in there reveals a tiny whiff of gun powder (?) Rich mouthfeel, velvety smooth, present tannins. More balanced acidity than the other tourigas we've had . Long. Packs a punch with 14,5 % alcohol
We had this with moose tenderloin, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts snd a creamy red wine sauce. I dub this a splendid match with the tender game!

Deep ruby color. Primary on the nose, a lot of black cherry and spice. Full bodied on the palate with fine tannins on the finish. Nice wine, probably needs some time.

This a very surprising Wine. Usually I not such a big fun, but the 2018 Vintage is far superior to all the other ones I have tried. This wine is robust, yet carries great overall complexity and balance. Worthwhile buying a few extra bottles to appreciate over the years. Fantastic quality for the price.

Retail $25. Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Syrah, Trincadeira, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Franca. Another kitchen sink wine from one of the leading producers in Alentajo, one of my favorite wine regions on the planet. Rich ruby color with baked black fruit aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and some mocha aspects. The palate is quite tart with some earth and spice notes. Excellent.
