What reviewers say
“Dark cloudy crimson with red edges and thick red legs ( claimed 13.5% feels way too low ). Nice nose of dark red fruits - blackberry, red currant - and some herbal notes of menthol and tobacco. Dry with lots of alcohol and acid, and suppressed but tightly wound tannins. Flavours of dark red fruits - again red currant, sweet beetroot and plum - and some savoury hints of smoke and mushroom. Medium to full body and long length. A fine example of Douro red.”
