The 2017 Herdade de Colheiros Red begins with an enticing aroma of dark, ripe fruit and nice touches of spice.
The wine tastes just like it smells which is a good thing. Featuring lots of juicy, fresh, rich, deep, dark fruit flavors and pleasing touches of spice throughout, this one really opens up nicely after a couple hours in the glass.
It ends dry and quite long with lots of lingering dark fruit and spice plus a little earthiness on the slightly chewy finish. Good stuff, this is another great value red blend from Portugal.
