This blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Sousao has a ripe, medium-high intensity nose of plum, red and black fruits, and stony mineral aromas, which continue on the medium+ bodied, fruit forward palate. It has very good acidity and supple, textured tannins. A touch of warmth on the long, balanced finish. Delicious right now. Tasted Oct. 2022.

A solid well-mage Douro, a bit leaner than the '15 but still a fine red. Drinking nicely now, should hang on for a few more years. Tasted Nov 2023.
