Winery review:
86 Points – Wine Enthusiast Best Buy
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 this wine very much. It was very bold and rich and had dark berry aromas and flavors as well as a cleaning/leathery flavor. I even got a hint of roasted meat flavor. I would not have this wine again.

Food or no food:
I didn't have this wine with food.
