Purchased from a café on the cais in Vila Nova de Gaia and drunk while watching the crews board the boats for the Barco Rabello race.
Deep purple colour; pleasant nose. Generous levels of tannins and plenty of fruit made this the perfect accompaniment for a veal chop in garlic butter. 85/100. 24-Jun-17. Pop 'n' pour.
