  One of the most wonderful wines I ever tasted from Portugal🍷👏
  
  An amazing dark bright mostly cloudy purple color. A breathtaking👏
  
  Medium to full body. Medium acidity. Noticeable tanines but still feels smooth. Lovely structure👏
  
  Lovely aromatic, barrels, spices, terroir, red & black fruits👏
  
  Rich, complex, intensive & powerful wine, but in an harmonic & balanced manner. Coffee, chocolate, coconut, plum, blackberries, pomegranate, strawberries, pepper, licorice, ginger, stone, leather 👏
  
  Wonderful wine🍷👏🍷

  a little tannic in the beginning, very powerfull, will get even better with aging. Very tastefull with a lot of spices.

  Blackcurrant and pencil shavings on a slightly reserved nose. A medium weight body of black fruit with good structure and silky tannins. Savory finish. A serious effort to make a Bordeaux-like wine.

  On immediate opening perhaps a little mean on the tannins and savoury profile, but after a good few hours of being open it reveals a gorgeous juicy depth of brambly fruit, savoury notes and a fairly intense liquorice note too. Nice now, decanting recommended, and with age for sure to allow some of that oak to integrate more. Delicious.
