Prats & Symington Post Scriptum de Chryseia 2023

The 2019 Post Scriptum de Chryseia is mostly a 56/33 blend of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, with Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca filling out the blend. The wine aged for 12 months in used French oak and comes in at 14.2% alcohol. Suave and refined, this elegant blend caresses the palate with silk and finishes with flavor. It is for those who appreciate a little freshness and understatement more than big fruitiness. It’s bright and lively, with mostly ripe tannins on the finish. In its youth, this is lovely and a perfect food wine. The price is pretty nice as well. Drink date: 2021-2031. (Mark Squires,robertparker.com,July 30, 2021)
