"Rich and smooth, this wine has polished tannins from wood aging and black fruits that now balance the structure."

"So dark it is black at the core with a purplish rim. Extremely ripe black fruit, both dried and fresh. On the palate, this is dense, concentrated, chewy and tannic. Even with all this intensity and ripeness you can still see the Douro character in that savoury/mineral flavour and the attractively dry tannins. Surprising freshness for such a powerful wine."
