18,5/20 - Grandes Escolhas Tasted: Dec 2021
O tempo trouxe-o ao seu ponto mais alto, num perfil austero e distinto, onde a concentração deu lugar à finura e elegância, com notas de cereja e musgo. Taninos sedosos mas com garra, enorme frescura de boca dada por uma acidez frutada, sem amargos. A barrica desapareceu, o que sente é sabor, textura, classe. Grande vinho.
