Perfectly balanced. Harmonic nose with blue berries, leather, black currant, "flower-garden" with a hint of perfume. Body and concentrated acidity with polished tannins/rounded mouthfeel.

Inky red-blue. Nose is very fruity, with typical Douro notes. Ripe fruit, but not overripe. Some barrel that is yet to integrate. Feels like a sleeping giant on the nose. Mouthfeel is very concentrated, overwhelming. Fruit, tannins, full throttle from beginning to a long after-taste end. Very young, only 4 months in barrel. A great wine for us hedonists, needs at least two years, will last ten. Pair with equally full-bodied food.
