2004 Lavradores de Feitoria Vinhos de Quinta S.A.

2004 Lavradores de FeitoriaColor: a deep ruby color with slight purple to lavender at the edges

Nose: Strong, jammy fruits with hints of blueberry syrup and the slightest of grassy overtones

Palate: Lithe mouth feel with excellent structure. Not heavy on the flavors and comes with the characteristic minerality of many old-world wines. Good, dark-fruit flavors.

Finish: Excellent finish. Rich smokiness and a hint of licorice on the tongue. High tannins sweep the mouth the clean.

Another definite food wine, and a great find from Portugal.
