Full body, deep purple color. Impressive aroma of wild, ripe fruits, tobacco, spices’ box and peppery background. On the palate – black and blue fruits mix following by lingering hot but juicy finish. Rich and complex but still fresh and velvety, well hidden alcohol, balanced and harmonious, vital acidity and resolved tannins. Ideal for medium rare steak. Open one hour ahead. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Drink now and next eight years.

Predominantly Alicante Bouschet with a small percentage of Trincadeira, aged in oak and mahogany vats of 5.000 liters capacity for 24 month.Still young but beginning to drink. Smooth, dark powerful. Length but perhaps a little one dimensional.

Very good and ready to drink. Quite smooth, but could be a little bit more complex.

Bags of character, good weight & balance. A rustic note dominates the finish. Drink now & next couple of years.
