Tasting Notes:
A wine with a unique identity that presents an extraordinary aromatic intensity on the nose with elegant spice notes, aromas of rockrose and fresh aromas of Douro wild fruits. In the mouth it presents a very elegant start but full of intensity. A wine of excellent volume, compact structure composed of tannins with an elegant texture and very well wrapped in retro nasal notes of Douro wild fruits. Finishes fresh and very persistent. A memorable wine that impresses with its complexity and unique identity and that will benefit positively from aging in the bottle.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
