2020 Vicente Faria Lisbon by Night
A delicious Portuguese red, medium bodied, bursting with flavours of black fruits and vanilla. Give this a little air before consuming if possible, about 30 minutes will do in a decanter or pour through an aerator if you have one. The time will really bring some of these flavours forward and wake this bottle up. Overall, this is a great wine for the price point that offers solid flavour and a smoothness that is usually not found at this price point. For pairings, this is fantastic with BBQ, red meats, or a nice charcuterie board.
