Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca combined make up 70% of this wine with 20% Sousão and 10% vinha velha (old vines): deep, opaque ‘black’; quite reserved on the nose initially with dark chocolate and liquorice concentration underlying; ripe, vibrant blackberry fruit, seemingly quite fleshy in style for Dow (a reflection of the ripeness in 2018 from this mostly south-facing vineyard), dark chocolate concentration with muscular tannins rising on to an explosive, ‘wow’ of a finish. I love it!
