The four varieties (Quatro Castas) in question are Aragonês, Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional on the Portuguese side and Syrah on the French. The blend of varieties can change, depending on the year, but this 2005 blend gives a rich, dense, blackly impenetrably textured wine. The wood aging is just a gloss on the intense fruits that are ripe and sweet.
