The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness and lead pencil. It tastes like game, prune and black currant (cassis). The body is full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Wine Education Service - Portugal (LSE): Inky showing some age. Very vegetal initially, then the background baked fruit comes through. Delicious, fruity, moreish, drinking beautifully, at its zenith, not for keeping.

Bon rapport qualité-prix. Rien de transcendant mais un beau vin digeste. Belle longeur, et un bel équilibre. Mais sans complexité.
