Chryseia, Prats & Symington 2022

Very attractive nose of blackberries, violets and graphite with dried herb undertones and a hint of tasty oak. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, super polished and subtle, with vibrant fruit and enveloping polished tannins. The wood is very well integrated. 75% touriga nacional and 25% touriga franca. Drink or hold.

Deep crimson with purplish rim. More obviously oaky than the Post Scriptum 2023 just tasted. More everything: more intense, more floral but also incredibly vibrant and rich. Deeply chewy, mouth-filling and yet ultimately an elegant-wine-in the-making. The tannins are compact and dense but already so smooth. Dark-fruited from damson to blackberry plus a bright note of mulberry, laced with spice and a light minty note. Very long and with so much potential complexity in an already harmonious and mellifluous whole. Drink: 2066-2033
