Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar): This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.
My Review: This wine had a nose of dark berries, blackberries, and alcohol. The tongue was very bitter and dry with a short finish. I would give this wine a pass because it didn't taste like much and it had no body.
With Food: No
