finevines90 scored this wine: 93/100

A luxe and diversified Portfolio (2017). Q1: Dark cherry, rich blackberry and baking spice meet the nose. Q2: Velvety fruits on the palate with cocoa and pleasant caramel tones from the virgin oak. Q3: Tannins are woven elegantly and don’t overpower the symmetry. The acidity is mild. Q4: Closing (finish) is long.

Deep red/blue mahogany in the glass. Aromatics are juicy ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with soft oak and light vanilla to compliment. Mouthfeel is medium-minus but carries a bold and sweet-yet-dry flavour to match the nose. Medium-plus finish with toasted baking spice. Tannins are mild and in harmony with the acidity.
