Vintage Cellar 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:

At first scent, I picked up strong hints of plums and berries. The taste was very different however. I tasted great flavors from the spices and pepper. I personally liked this wine because while it was very spicy-- it was greatly balanced by a fruit taste that followed.

Cheers,
