This impressively rich wine is textured and full of black fruits. Polished by the wood aging, the wine's ripe tannins have been smoothed and enhanced. Produced from Alfrocheiro, one of the indigenous varieties of the Dão region, the wine is still structured and should age well. Drink from 2026. — Roger Voss
