Deep red colour. Nose with cherries, raspberries and some liqueur of red berries, slightly flowery, and just a hint of barnyard aromas that hint of development. Medium bodied+, palate with cherries, red currants and strawberries, shows a character of rather ripe berries but stil a rather tart character with good acidity throughout; some spice, velvety medium tannins that are well integrated into the fruit. The aftertaste is rather long and fresh and dominated by tart berries. Fully approachable, but should be able to take much more cellaring, 90 p. A very modern-style wine, but in a positive sense: good concentration and focus on fruit, accessibility and velvety tannins, but without excessive oak or too much alcohol.

Nice nose, modern with ripe fruit and oak aromas. Eveything is well integrated. Medium + body with southern balance. Oakiness present but well integrated. Good concentration and length. A very well made wine but I missed some excitement.

Excelente Douro. Menos potente que muitos vinhos da zona. Magnifica combinaçao com um churrasco. Aromas a fruta madura, cremoso, em boca redondo, final largo, taninos perfeitos. Um dos melhores vinhos do Douro.
