This Grande Reserva has a brilliant clear purple color, good sensation of aromatic freshness, notes of an excellent complexity that recall the wild berries of the Douro, heather and touches of violet, balsamic alongside hints of toast and chocolate.

Structured and dense but highly elegant. Well integrated, full bodied with mature tannins and a silky finish, exuberant and with excellent persistence
