Natalie's Score: 91/100

A savoury, full-bodied Spanish red wine with a firm tannic grip on the palate that will smooth out with some cellar time then decant 1-2 hours. This is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Alicante Bouschet grapes. Winemakers are Nuno Franco and Alexandre Relvas. Aromas of dark red berries, smoke and dried herbs. Pair with grilled lamb.

Food pairings: vegetarian lasagne, veal parmesan, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This is just great wine, period. Lots of ripe black briar and cherry fruit along with plum skin, Aussie red licorice, pressed red flowers, sarsaparilla and a hit of wood. Clean and delineated but also juicy and rich. 93 Points.
Sao Miguel Escolha dos Enologos (2015) is a juicy, smooth and rich 40% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional red wine blend from the Alentejano wine region. Pair with a sausage cassoulet. - Community Wine Reviews
