Algueira, Ribeira Sacra 2004

Deep red.

Vinturi - savory nose - toasted oak/nut, slow roasted meat, earth with black fruit underneath.

Round and low-toned in the mouth, with an earth/spice/pepper character that reminds me of Rioja to some extent. A medicinal/saline nuance also. Fine acidity slowly shows itself. This is really good. Nice chewy, earth/spice finish.
