This is really vivid, with a beautiful range of cassis, cherry purée, boysenberry coulis, and plum reduction notes unfurling across the palate while succulent licorice, warm fruitcake, and enticing red and black tea notes sing back up. The long, refined finish has plenty in reserve for the long haul. One of the stars of the vintage. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Alicante Bouschet and Tinta Amarela. Best from 2040 through 2060. 1,640 cases made, 150 cases imported. Top 100 Wines of 2022, #66. —J.M.
