J. Portugal Ramos, Vinhas Velhas Marquês de Borba 2020, Alentejo, Portugal

Tasting Note: This is an elegant, mature red blend from Alentejo.

Deep-ruby with some garnet around the edges, the wine has a nose of black raspberry, blackberry puree, clove baking spice, rhubarb, and ripe-strawberry skin.

Well-integrated red-and-black fruit dominates the palate with supple tannins buttressing the long finish which boasts hints of tart-red cherry.

The wine is like a velvet glove caressing your cheek – sensual and reassuring.
