In the nose, very fresh and elegant with notes of wild berries and black cherries, complemented by seductive nuances of liquorice from the wood bearing. On the palate it is very concentrated, with firm tannins and soft texture, very intense and persistent aftertaste. Very tasty, accessible wine from the Douro Superior
