PORTUGAL : BEIRAS : DAO Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro Preto
Sergio Licea
Plum, cassis, blackberry compote, leather, iron, cacao, vanilla bean, violets, pencil shavings, black peppercorns. Rounded acid/smooth velvet tannin balance, medium-full body, silky texture, long smoky-slightly peppery finish. Highly aromatic, well integrated oak, tannins felt mature like a 15-20 year old Rioja.

A little inky/crushed insects tasting to me. Not awful, but not a big fan.
