Loving the Douro reds. This one gives nice berry aromas with earthy, soy sauce and stony, mushroomy accents. The palate is all about black cherry and blueberry fruit wrapped in assertive but soft tannin and mouthwatering acidity. Medium-bodied, but with a viscous mouthfeel that enhances a fruity and minerally finish beyond 45 seconds. Yum!
