"Very relatable to port on the nose. And there's a lovely sweet palate entry with some floral notes and very gentle tannins. Quite frisky rather than impenetrably concentrated. Delightfully appetising with some persistence." - JancisRobinson.com
This elegant blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz is an elegant combination of red fruits and well integrated oak notes, with lively acidity providing a fresh palate and excellent backbone to this wine. It has a deep garnet colour with a violet hue, Intense red cherry aromas with hints of sweet basil and white pepper.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
