LAB Red is a stylish blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Touriga Nacional from the region near Portugal's capital, Lisbon. The nose shows ripe black and red fruit with a well-integrated smokiness. Juicy plums and berry flavours dominate the palate, with notes of licorice and spice on the finish. Pair with red and white meats.

Deep stony citrus aroma with a hint of lime and fresh green fruit. Much more obvious skin-derived texture here than in the 2021 vintage, a fine tannic grip that is a great foil to the fruit and high acidity. A distinctive style with a persistent citrusy/herbal finish, persistent thanks to the texture, more complex and attention-grabbing but not showy. Really long and beautifully crisp without being out of balance. Direct, pure and textured. When to drink: 2024-2028. Score - 17 (out of 20). (Julia Harding, MW, jancisrobinson.com, June 11, 2024)
