    November 7, 2018 - Fantastic for a 10 year Boal. Very rich, deep and quite clean, with no notes of VA. Caramel, dried fruits and spice. On the sweeter side, but nicely buffered with crisp, citric, refreshing acidity.

    March 5, 2018 - Nose: Woody, complex and rich. Exotic and complex aromas, characteristic of ageing in wood, such as caramel and toasted almonds. Notes of tea and dried fruits. Enjoyable as a whole.

    Tasting Note: Medium sweet wine, clear and elegant. Well balanced acidity and body, showing tannins and a delicate sweetness. Notes of chocolate and dried fruits.
    Ageing: In 650 litres oak barrels.

    Wine making: Fermentation off skins with temperature control aged for 10 years in oak cask in “Canteiro” system.
    Grape Varieties: Boal

    Tasting Notes: Amber colour with a golden rim. Complex, wood and vanilla aromas. Medium Sweet, good balanced, long aftertaste.

    Store and Serve Advices: As an aperitif serve at a temperature of 10ºC. As a dessert wine serve at 16ºC.
