Herdade dos Outeiros Altos 

Outeiros Altos Talha Tinto 2019 

15% Vinho de Talha DOC. A traditional local blend of Aragonez, Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira, with Alicante Bouchet and a little more Touriga Nacional this year for added tannic support. From a hotter vintage that created more cooked fruit, raisined characters. Fuller, richer in the mouth than the 2020 with over-ripe, raisiny fruit flavors and considerably grippier tannins. Less successful for my tastes. 88
