Ruby red. This has quite the elegant nose with good complexity. Cherry liqueur and strawberry shortcake provide the base for layers of complexity: dried straw, anise, vanilla, and cedar bark. There is a thread of herbaceousness and a peaty character that gives lift. Warm nose. Medium bodied with firm tannin, although a bit restrained and thin on the mid palate. Snappy acidity. Warm baking spice and 'Strawberry Jam Thumbprint Cookie' on the medium finish. A blend of Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional.
