Rather fruity for a Douro. Bought it on the discount rack, so an extra point for value. Worth a try.
Blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and Touriga Francesa. Ripe and fruity medium+ intensity nose is dark fruited with blackberry, black plum, peppery spice, and mineral undertones. On the dry, medium+ bodied palate it has ripe plummy and blackberry flavours along with some peppery spice, herbs, and minerals adding a pleasant savoury component. Acids are fresh, juicy, and well-balanced, while the supple tannins have a nice, textural mouthfeel. Savoury minerals linger on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Jan. 2023. Score: 88+ pts
