Good colour; lovely nose of sweet fruit (blackberries and red cherries), warm spice, youthful, just a hint of tar, good depth; the palate has medium body, ripe tannins, but lacks the concentration and power mid-palate for a higher score, good balance, fresh and modern; good persistence.

A blend of Vital and Fernao Pires. Fresh, citric, slightly floral, nice bitters, does not lack energy and minerality, simple but not unattractive.
