Dark, glass-clinging red purple with near black core. Inviting nose of black plum and blueberry, echoed on the medium full palate, which adds red apple and light oak. Medium tannins. Medium plus acidity. Portugal's principal variety shines in this less common varietal bottling. It looks much heavier than it actually is making it a food-friendly red with enough complexity for lighter cuts of beef but lithe enough for beef-topped salads (which is what I had with it). Drink now through 2030.
