This elegant Portuguese red opens with a refined bouquet of red berries and forest floor, complemented by a subtle hint of toast from its extensive ageing. On the palate, it is wonderfully fresh and sophisticated, layering vibrant spice with a persistent, red-fruit finish. A pleasant herbaceous touch adds character, supported by excellent, fine-grained tannins. Matured for 21 months in seasoned 225-litre French oak barrels (second and third use), this wine shows remarkable maturity and a perfectly integrated oak profile.
