Dark amber core colour and lighter rim, reminiscent of a youngish Colheita-style Port. Sharp and beautifully complex, as a result of the longer-than-usual time spent in casks. Hazelnuts gently showing through the ever-decreasing fruit. In the mouth it shows lovely acidity, making it sharp and elegant, with great complexity and balance. Quite spicy, moving away from the fresher fruits into hazelnuts and prunes. The finish is fresh and at the same time delicate and very long.
