Bojador Vinho Tinto 2016

This is purple-black hued in the glass showing aromas of blackberry jam and mincemeat tart. It coats the palate with a spice-laden, fruit-filled, nicely textured river of black raspberry and dark Bing cherry intertwined with mixed spice and oodles of tang. This is medium weight with a price-quality balance tipped well in your favour—load up the trunk—and a juicy, lingering finish and aftertaste. Terrific on its own, it has the oomph and balance to pair well with grilled steak, burgers or beef fajitas. (Vic Harradine)
