"The 2017 Assobio red is a roughly equal blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz (just a bit heavy on the Nacional). Only about 20% of the blend was aged in well-used French oak for six months. It comes in at 13.2% alcohol. Nicely balanced, this has some intensity and purity of fruit flavor, but it finishes dry and with a rather serious feel. The tannins are very ripe, but this does have some structure. It has some firmness on the finish. A cut above, it's not an overly simple and fruity regular Tinto. It should hold nicely for several years. It is not the type of wine you need to age, though."
