In the mouth you can feel a strong presence of tannins but it’s a very well balanced wine with a long finish. The presence of one of my favorite Portuguese varietals, Touriga Nacional, gives it an intense aroma of black fruits. The varietal syrah gives it a trace of black plums and explains the presence of high tannins.

It’s a great wine for meals with meat (also because of its “powerful” 14,5%) or just to drink it with some cheese (like i did).

The packaging is very elegant but I doubt that it makes it easy to find it in the middle of all the “noise” of a supermarket shelve.
