Acidicy is still shining through however, through the fruit has fallen off. Light cherry, dried violets, dried strawberry, dried plum, leather and savoury cured meats. Peaked, and facing the down slope; drink now and enjoy this aged Portuguese red with rice and sausage dishes.Tasted: 23 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
