Appearance marked by a dark purple, with aromas of black currants and sweet dark cherries, spices, and soft floral notes of violets. Very firm on the initial palate, with superb acidic freshness and dark fruits prominent on the mid-palate, along with fine, grainy tannins, which gives it a long, silky, dry finish. This is a Port wine suitable to be stored in cellars for a long period.

The wine is wonderfully ripe, full and exuberant, spicy on the nose, with very fine long tannins and a classic Noval purity and elegance.
