Prats and Symington, 2016

Prazo de Roriz

Description and Reviews:
This 2016 Prazo de Roriz red wine is from the famous joint venture of the Symington family with Bruno Prats of Bordeaux. Such a vivid purple colour, but immediately more refined, less fruitcakey and plummy than the Altano before it, more cedar and incense fragrance and lovely balance and finesse, lightness. Juicy and long, with elegant and fine tannins and fresher acidity.

The Prazo de Roriz is characterized in particular by red fruits, raspberries and cherries and the Roriz terroir provides a distinctive minerality and appealing peppery spice. Made for drinking young, but with the potential for developing in-bottle for several years.
