DOC Douro
Cave Alianca

A blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca.

Dark purple in the glass.

Lovely nose of leather, smoke, barnyard and chocolate.

Round and full in the mouth, fleshy raspberry and cherry, slightly floral, tobacco, good acidity, dark chocolate, quite rich, turning dry toward the end.

A drying finish.

Purchased at $19.95 (Canadian).

Sounds like it might have been better if they stopped fermentation with some brandy!
