| TASTING NOTE: 50% Touriga Nacional, 10% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Cao. A luscious but accessible wine, with splendid aromas of fruitcake, walnut, prunes and spice. There's an astonishing level of extract to the palate, with its silky apricot fruit and darker tones of coffee beans, nuts and burnt caramel. This is a fresh, tangy, textbook Colheita and tremendous value to boot. Score - 95 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2015) |
