From the leading modern Carvalhais estate comes a blend of touriga nacional, tinta roriz and fragrant alfrocheiro preto. There’s an almost northern Ontario ambience in wines from the evergreen-clad Dão region, with cedar bough, plum-fig fruit, leather and mineral complexity. Mid-weight, with surprising elegance for the price. Now to 2011. LCBO 546309
