Torbreck, The Descendant 2004 Quinta Meandro do Vale Meao elegant red fruit with delicateThe 2004 Descendant is by far the most impressive release of this wine, the colour making that immediately apparent; completely black purple with healthy, vibrant magenta hues. A pure, wild, powerful nose of blackberry and tar is complimented by a gentle floral lift of lavender and violets. Full bodied with great concentration, silky tannins and perfectly judged extract, this vigorous and suave young wine has a long, long future ahead of it.
