Product Description: "86 Points – Wine Enthusiast Best Buy
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."
My Review: This wine was very plummy scented with slight hints of spices and dark cherry. The taste was very different then the scent. It was very smokey and woody. I got a hint of cigar smoke that was very interesting.
