Wine Critic Review: "From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure streak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017."
My Review: I did not like the smell of this wine so I did not expect to like it nearly as much as I did, since smell and taste are linked. It was very earth and dry, and I liked the aftertaste. I did not have food with this wine.
