Caves Velhas 2005 Cabeça de Toiro Reserva Red (Ribatejo)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
This wine combines sophistication with ripe fruitiness. It is a well judged blend of Touriga Nacional and Castelão bringing the tannins and structure of the first with the red juiciness of the second. Definitely worth aging, with the firm tannins and acidity likely to smooth out after two years.
