A concentrated, almost dark purple colour, with aromas of black pepper, spice and dark fruits such as plums and blackberries. Initially the palate is fresh with superb acidity and a wonderful expression of dark fruits, but follows through to a bold tannic mid-palate and finish, the sweetness and fruit very much dominated by tannin on the finish. This is a Port wine suitable for long cellaring.

It has a classic ruby color. On the nose presents elegant aromas of blackberries from Touriga Nacional, forest fruits, as well as notes of eucalyptus and some balsamic. On the palate it is fresh, well integrated, with soft tannins and a good persistence.
