Herdade dos Outeiros Altos 

Outeiros Altos Talha Tinto 2020 

14.5% Vinho de Talha DOC. A traditional local blend of Aragonez, Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira, with just a touch of Alicante Bouchet and Touriga Nacional. I found this surprisingly fresh for such a higher alcohol wine. Full of quite pure black cherry, plum and black fruit characters. These played out flavor-wise at mid-palate with an unexpected juiciness and degree of elegance struck through with fine acidity running throughout a long finish. Quaffable now, but promising even more in future. 96
