The 2007 TINTO “PAXA” is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Aragonez and Alicante Bouschet, vinified in stainless steel. Powerful and a real mouthful, it also has some very earthy notes up front, a touch of char, something that might also perhaps be a hint of reduction. Beautifully constructed, it is a very nice bottle once past the bit of funk, which is a little annoying, and might moderate with some time.
