The nose is generous and layered, offering ripe blackberries, dark forest fruit, black pepper, vanilla, and a touch of dark chocolate.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied and velvety, with juicy dark fruit at the core, followed by toasted oak, spice, and subtle roasted notes. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, giving the wine structure without hardness, while the finish is long, warm, and persistent. It has the concentration and balance to develop further over the next few years, though it is already appealing now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade from 100% Alicante Bouschet, this wine comes from Península de Setúbal in Portugal, a region well suited to producing ripe, expressive reds.
