  Maintains deep ruby color with some dark fruit (very little) on the nose and palate. Soft tannins with a hint of tobacco on the finish. Probably past it's prime drinking interval.

  BlackBerry, cherry and tobacco rush forward and then the chewy tannins hit and last forever. Also a hint of plum at the backend. This is a well structured red that will withstand another few years of age. Awesome representation of this varietal.

  Very good despite its age. Juicy with well integrated tannins. Very little secondary notes with black fruits and spices in the nose. Medium acidity and very fruity finish.

  A Few Samples - Portugal & Argentina: Vibrant purple color. Aromas of smoke, charcoal, scorched earth, some mushroom and anise on top of juicy black currant and plums. Full but quite fresh on the palate, sturdy tannins, dark plum and currant fruit, a juicy, complex but delicious wine. Such vibrant black currant and cherry fruit, maintains a tart edge, and it’s laced with mushroom, pepper, coffee, leather, clove. So much going on here, with a seriously complex finish. Good time ahead but delicious now. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Jaen, and Alfroceiro varieties.

  Rich juicy wine with a lot of attractive fruit (date, fig, plum). Chewy tannin, and hint of smoke. Would be a great summer outdoor wine with some olive oil based food pairing.
