This blend of Tinta Roriz and Castelão has a shy nose that takes some coaxing to reveal enticing aromas of tobacco, smoke, vanilla, and red & black cherries. It's medium-full bodied on the dry palate with spicy red berry and cherry flavours nuanced with floral, vanilla, and oak spice. It's supported by juicy acidity and chunky tannins that are smooth and inviting. The finish is long and well-balanced. Tasted Apr. 2026. Score: 88+ pts
