Quinta do Noval Porto Vintage 2016

Here the nose is also discreet and brooding with incredible aromatic breadth that includes similar violet notes but the fruit profile is more black and red than blue plus a kaleidoscopic array of spice elements

The 2017 Aconcagua Costa "Las Pizarras" Syrah is a new red from the slate soils in Aconcagua Costa

with sweet tannin and plenty of power harnessed in a symmetrical

mostly Touriga Franca

along with the French oak (about 100% new)

There is a seductive texture to the supple medium-bodied flavors that possess fine mid-palate density before culminating in a dusty and palate coating finish

it still stood out for its purity
