A red wine with a very intense aroma of fresh wild black fruit and black cherries balanced by the seductive nuances of liquorice, full in the mouth, firm tannins, a soft texture and very long aftertaste. Very intense and persistent aftertaste characteristic of the strength of the wines of the Douro Superior.

91/100 - Wine Enthusiast Tasted: Dec 2021
Aged for 18 months in a mixture of French and American barrels, this richly fruity wine has great spice to enhance the dark fruit flavors. It is still a little young and will be best from 2022. Roger Voss
