“Deep cherry red. Light cherry aroma touch of peppery spice smells fresh rather than sweet. Terrific introduction to Dão – red cherry fruit a firm but polite grip from the tannins and an immediate association with the granite rock of the region. Avoids the intense perfume of Tourigal National in favour of a sense of place. Both dry and lively. Juicy fresh and not weighted down by alcohol or oak. Probably made for drinking now but has the constitution to do well in bottle for at least a couple of years. Perfect supper/house red.†by Julia Harding @ jancisrobinson.com
