Casa Ferreirinha Quinta da Leda 2018

A concentrated red made up of a blend of 43% touriga franca, 40% touriga nacional, 7% tinta cao, 5% tinta roriz and 5% sousao. This has ripe aromas of prunes and spices with violets and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied and very intense with plenty of dark-fruit flavors. Aged in 50% new oak. Better in a year or two. [Enjoy into the early 2030s.] (Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas,jamessuckling.com,Oct. 15, 2024)
