Jose Maria da Fonseca 'Periquita' Reserva 2013 Review

From vineyards just outside of Lisbon, this Portuguese blend is dark, smoky, and seductive, like a velvet-lined cigar box. Black cherries, fresh vanilla bean, and wet soil become even fuller on the palate, with excellent structure and a savory, textured finish.
