    J. Portugal Ramos 2003 Quinta da Viçosa Touriga Merlot Red (Alentejano)

    An unusual but successful blend, the Touriga Nacional giving structure, the Merlot giving softness. There is good concentration, layers of acidity, and a deep color from the partial foot treading in open lagares. Towards the end, spicy wood comes through from the barrel aging.
