Crafted by sixth-generation winemaker Chris Killeen in the style he pioneered from the 1997 release onward, this blend of Touriga Nacional 31%, Tinta Roriz 27%, Shiraz 14%, Grand Noir 11%, Tinto Cão 11% and Durif 6% is a beautifully composed expression of the S\u0026amp;K Portuguese variety program at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bouquet is fragrant and inviting, with blackberry, star anise and liquorice lifting from the glass with real definition and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is lush and generous, with juicy plum and morello cherry carrying across a beautifully balanced mid palate. Mouth-filling tannins provide structure and shape, while hints of milk chocolate and coffee drift through on the finish, adding warmth and a lingering complexity that keeps you coming back for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe finish is long and satisfying, tapering with real elegance and pointing clearly to the decades of rewarding development still ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLovely now alongside a slow-cooked casserole or a generous cheese platter, and with the structure and balance to cellar comfortably for at least another two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBuying it as a gift?
