Tasting notes/ Reviews: Rich and intense dark cherry colour. Floral notes on the nose. Nice fruit and acidity. Good balance. Long and elegant finish.
"This exciting, unique blend of old vine touriga nacional and aragonês features notes of fragrant pine and blackcurrant fruit with unique coriander and ginseng that are redolent of vermouth. Full bodied, taut, sourish and tannic. Don’t plan it as a sipper at your next party—try it in a decade instead. Outstanding length. Best 2011 to 2018." 93 points, David Lawrason
