2020 | Casal das Aires | Alicante Bouschet

Very deep black/purple hue with a sense of lightness/fluidity in the glass as you swirl it. And in the mouth classic Alicante Bouschet china ink to the nose, which smacks you as fresh, foreshadowing the bright acidity in the mouth. Tobacco as it opens up. In the mouth, it has smoky charcuterie undertones.
