Prats and Symington Chryseia 2014

€ 65.00

Very dark and intense color. Rich fruity nose of black cherries, dark plums, chocolate and well integrated but discreet oak. Very rich structure, a lot of freshness and minerality. The velvety tannins are long, supple and elegant. Long-lasting and slow creamy aftertaste. A wine with a great aging potential

CHRYSEIA is one of the pioneers of the globally recognized revival of the non-reinforced Douro DOC wines. However, this wine, whose name means "golden" in ancient Greek - just like the name of the river in Portuguese - has remained true to its own style which contemplates elegance and balance. Chryseia symbolizes the union of a noble Portuguese tradition and an equally rich Bordeaux tradition in the creation of a new and modern wine style. CHRYSEIA was first put on the market in 2000

This excellent wine is the ultimate and sublime result of a collaboration between the Symington family and the French oenologist Bruno Prats. Very deep purple color. Rich and complex aroma of dark plums and black cherries with some subtle roasted nuts. Well-structured, assertive tannins that underline the aging potential of the wine. Attractive and supple fruit in the aftertaste
