Apparently 2009 is the first vintage of this original blend of Touriga Nacional (34%), Syrah (33%) and Primitivo. Dark red with purplish hue. Powerful nose, slightly Port-like, reminescent of black fruits, dried herbs, coffee and the violets I associate with Touriga Nacional. Intense taste of sweet dark berries and spices, with firm, but well-tamed tannin and refreshing acidity keeping it in balance. Good length too. Absolutely interesting blend that should age gracefully for many years to come. 2009 vintage. Abv 14,3%. 31 euro.
