Well-packed, with a dense mix of briar, black currant, menthol, plum reduction and licorice root notes that give this a tumbling feel as it moves along. Shows serious underlying grip and an inner freshness, which bode well for cellaring. Some patience is required. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barocca, Tinta Francisca and Tinta Cão. Best from 2038 through 2055.
