Herdade do Rocim 

Herdade do Rocim Clay Aged Tinto 2017

14.5%. Naturally fermented and foot trodden in lagars, then matured in 140 liter clay jugs for 16 months. A blend of Portuguese Alicante Bouchet and Trincadeira and French Petit Verdot and Tannat grapes. Florally blackberry/currant fruit aromas and flavors. Plenty of fruit flavors with Tannat’s dusty, middle of the mouth, tannins poking through. Nice juicy fruits on finish. Needs more time to develop and soften. Tasted 2018. 89
