Very deep crimson, cedary bramberry-jam nose with medicinal hint, quite timid. Loads of acidity and heating alcohol reflects a muscular structure. Mouthdrying, although intense and soft tannins. Intense character of mint, black chocholate, real "After-Eight"-bite. Condensed with freshly roasted coffee-bean, dried plum and aniseed aftertaste. No sideways, straightforward. Although limited complexity. Organic vineyard (the first in Douro). Very good quality, athletic high-achiever in every sensation. Just not such elegant as Kopke. Would buy again for sure. Perfect for long saga-movies plus blue-cheese (stronger, mature side). 16 points. To keep after bottling for 7-9 years. A robust player.
