QUADRUS |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, intense, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry puree nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, intense, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary, faintly earthy finish. Tasted once. Still quite youthful, my only reservation relates to some clove notes on the finish. This well-made blend of 55% Touriga Nacional, 40% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and 5% Sousão has 14% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BUY - Cedary, spicy plum bouquet; medium to full bodied, a flavour of ripened plums with lively acidity and a firm tannic finish. |

| TASTING NOTE: This is Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) with a splash of Sousão. Floral with dense black and red fruit, cassis and cocoa, with prevailing oak influences. This will continue to evolve for another 2+ years but can be enjoyed tonight with rosemary-rubbed prime rib. (Vintages panel, June 2017) |
