Wine Review: From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure streak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017.

Personal Review: This wine smells sweet with an aroma of plums and red fruits. It also has a hint of fireplace. To me, it actually tastes like fireplace too. I absolutely hated this wine and would not try it again. I did not try this wine with food.
