Intriguing aromas of dried herbs give nuance to the heartier bourbon barrel, cherry candy and caramel aromas on the nose of this bottling of traditional Portuguese varieties Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, Tinta Francesca and Tinta Madeira. Caramelized black cherries and blueberries mesh with peppercorns and asphalt on the palate, which is expressive and nuanced for such a powerful style.
