Adega Marel 

Adega Marel Tonico Tinto 2020

13% Vinho de Talha DOC Granja-Amareleja. This is an authentic red wine style commonly drunk in local taverns directly out of the pots they were made in. Savory, slightly tarry red fruit aromas, dried cherry fruitiness with finely astringent tannins, in a pleasing reassuring way. Balancing acidity keeps wine fresh with decent persistence. For what should be a modest wine, it’s impressive for its vinosity and length. Next day, the tarry backs off, instead offering more dried blackfruit, dates, prunes with a touch of florals. Tannins are very long and fine now. 90
