Casal Figueira Vermelho 2020
This red wine is full of dark, musky savoury herbs, wet rock minerality, a hint of cinnamon and hot spices, and little dark berries behind it. The fruit is tart, not at all jammy, and they follow through on the palate, which is high acid, medium bodied, and full of the same musky herbs we noted on the palate. Savoury!
