Tasting of the Utrecht Wine Society (Utrecht, NL): Field blend of more than 30 indigenous varieties, old vines (planted 1930), foot trodden in open lagares, 20 months in French oak. Tasted blind. Rich, ruby colour, no browning at the rim, youthful; aromatic nose, black fruit, unmistakeably Douro, slightly dusty; light and dancing palate, hiding its power and weight (14.5% ABV), fresh and sweet, elegant and harmonious, spicy minerality, beautifully balanced; slightly Port-like finish, long.

Schöne dunkelrote Farbe im Glas. Von Beginn an in der Nase präsent. Schöner Duft nach Kirsche, etwas Brombeere und Heidelbeere. Im Mund sofort einnehmend, rund und weich. Wieder Kirsche, etwas Erdbeere, Heidelbeere mit Tabak und Kaffe. Schöner Abgang. Tol!!

Um vinho muito recomendado que decepcionou. Esperava mais equilíbrio. Falta frescor e elegância.
