2005 Finca Sandoval Manchuela Cuvee TNS Manchuela (1.5L)

"92 out of 100…The Cuvee TNS was bottled only in magnum. It is a blend of 66% Touriga Nacional and 34% Syrah bottled without filtration. Inky purple-colored, it exhibits an expressive perfume of mineral, spice box, red currants, black currants, and blueberry. Smooth textured and elegant, the wine is already showing some complexity. It conceals some silky tannin and should evolve for several years in the cellar. Drink this tasty wine through 2020." - Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate
