(60% Argonez, a.k.a. Tinto Roriz, Tempranillo; 40% Touriga Nacional)
Initial aromas present grapefruit and strawberry, with dried flowers as well. Very light bodied, pleasant, with light acid, perhaps just enough for the style. Hardly any tannins. Very drinkable, and a reasonable rosé, but not much more than that. There is a hint of tarragon in the aroma later. The acid and tang built up as well, and there was then a little flavor of lychee too. 88 points.
