Great Pop n' Pour, although a touch too oaky for my own tastes. Like drinking a Godiva cherry cordial.

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Sousão and mixed old vines From a property purchased in 2002 with vines planted from 2002 to 2009 but this is made with an additional 30% of mixed blacks from old vines on a nearby property they also purchased. This spends 12 months in oak, 20% new 80% used. Pretty perfumed nose that's inky, floral and plummy with, a touch of integrated oak and a hint of layex VA that yields to some earthy and sour cherry aromas. Round and open if bright on entry, with nice dusty tannins that helps this broaden on the palate. Retaining good transparency and a lot of late palate intensity to the fruit, this gains a stony note on the backend as the fruit turns bright with pithy accents to the sour plum flavors. there’s a little sweetness here accompanying the pretty fruit on the moderately long finish.

Opulent floral, blueberry and bergamot inflected nose. Tasty and juicy, if a bit hot. Good value.
