  Vinhas velhas. Porto con una crianza de 2 a 4 años. Unos 85 gramos de azúcar residual. Es un ruby. Picota cubierto de aspecto denso. La nariz es intensa, con una punta de alcohol de farmacia, maduro, con toques de confitura de tomate, chocolate negro, especias exóticas y final mentolado. En boca la entra es buena, con volumen, tanino intenso ligeramente secante, buena acidez, estructurado, algo goloso y bastante persistente.

  Técnicamente un "ruby reserva". Nariz expresiva, bien perfilada, con notas de confitura de frutillos rojos, matices especiados y un fondo de corte balsámico. En boca entra bien, untuoso, con amargos medios, tanino pulido, dulce y carnoso, estructura media y notable longitud.

  Dark, black cherry color with a hint of translucency. Sweet, intense and nuanced nose with aromas of purple berries, jammy blueberries, some floral aromatics, a little plum jam and a hint of grappa-like alcohol. Sweet and hot on the palate with moderate, quite lively acidity and noticeable, grippy and grainy tannins. The mouthfeel is chewy and textural with flavors of ripe blackcurrants, fig jam, sweet bilberries, créme de cassis, some baking spices, a little alcohol and a hint of floral nuances. The finish is quite long, sweet and pretty hot with flavors of sweet, juicy dates and figs, prunes, some bilberry jam and a little christmas spices with a hint of gravelly earth. The tannins give the aftertaste a gritty texture.
  
  An enjoyable, youthful and even a bit aggressive Ruby Port with good, robust structure and nice structure. Has a lot more character than most of Ruby Ports that too often are just simple, sweet and too mellow with no power or grip. Might even develop over some years in a cellar. A positive surprise.
