A profound expression of the Douro Superior, this full-bodied red is a masterclass in complexity and poise. The nose is a captivating tapestry of concentrated black fruits, exotic violets, and bergamot, layered with the region’s signature wild rock-rose (esteva) and savory liquorice. Masterfully balanced with elegant oak maturation, the palate reveals a monumental structure defined by fine, firm, yet remarkably smooth tannins. Its exceptional fruit concentration and vibrant acidity anticipate an extraordinary ageing potential, making this a definitive choice for the serious collector.
