From Portugal, this is a blend of 56% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Touriga Nacional, and 14% Syrah. Purple in color with ruby swirls, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with plums, black currants, slight baking spice and a bit of chocolate. Medium to full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Good balance. On the palate, this is tasty with plums, currants and slight dark chocolate. Good finish. This is an excellent value. It is drinking well now but should go another 5 years. Nice on its own, this will work well with many foods. It would be great with Rotisserie Chicken.
