2019 Quinta do Vesuvio 'Pombal do Vesuvio'

The 2019 Pombal do Vesúvio (Quinta do Vesúvio) is a blend of 55% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional and Tinta Amarela for the rest, aged for eight months in used French oak. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. Spicy, fresh and beautifully constructed, this has fine depth, better intensity of flavor and a backbone. The tannins are ripe, though. This can be drunk now, but it should also age pretty well and develop. This is a very nice value.
