  Vinho de cor vermelho púrpura, com tons granada. Intensidade de cor alta. Fechado, porém com brilho. Na taça apresenta intensa formação de lágrimas, duradouras e simétricas.
  Passou pelo aerador (Magic Decanter).
  Nariz de intensidade média alta, profusão de aromas de frutas negras maduras (ameixa e figo). Notas de flores secas, couro, caixa de cigarro e giz de cera. Manteve seu perfil olfativo ao longo do consumo. Em boca a acidez é viva. Taninos presentes e integrados. Álcool mansamente presente. Conjunto de extensão média para longa na boca. As notas olfativas se repetem, com destaque para as frutas negras e toques de couro. Vinho macio (aveludado), cobre amplamente a boca. Retrogosto agradável e de média extensão. Reforça suas virtudes quando acompanhado de algum corte de carne braseada. Vinho de qualidade média alta. Aparenta estar no auge.

  Dark, purple and a somewhat opaque colour.
  Rich, intense nose with some complexity; lots of dark berries, a whiff of coffee and chocolate, oak, laurel and herbs.
  Mediumbodied plus with good acidity on the palate, there is a good amount of dark fruit and some chocolate. Pretty round and smooth tannins and a very good length.
  I had it with an entrecôte, home-made strips, red wine-sauce, harico verts and béarnaise-butter. Touché!

  WOW said my wife with the first sip. Unlike some previous reviewers we think this wine is in a prime drinking window with some time at peak left. Huge fruit with a nice balancing acidity. Too bad it was our only bottle.................
