2009 Chambourcin, Algarve, Portugal

Somewhat nutty and a hint of cedar, also a hint of animal scent of black and red berries with a hint of pepper. Clear, straightforward, lean fruit in the mouth, delicately juicy, somewhat herbal and nutty, earthy tones and again cedary hints, very fine tannin, some persistence, decent to good finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2014. What our ratings mean
