This is a great Orin Swift red blend from Portugal. Spicy and full bodied with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with earth, oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Good right out of the bottle and good for parties.
Alcohol is very integrated although very high, so watch out.
15% alcohol by volume.

The wine is dark and juicy, with black currant and black raspberry aromas, but the nose has a distinct savory side to it, with cedar, olives, smoke and sassafras. The palate brings a textbook darkness, with earth for miles and miles and miles. It's just about pitch black, and that's okay, because I've got a flashlight. There is a heavy note of oak spice, a tongue-teasing acidity and a tannic structure that demands meat, make that steak, make that ribeye.

Has a very nice flavor. Easy drinking and fruity. Clean and light. Should be drank in on sitting, doesn't need extra breathing and gets detrimentally worse as time goes by.
