Eye
Intense purple color, brilliant disc
Nose
Intense and complex, inviting aromas of dark fruits: crushed blackcurrant, blackberry, and black plum, gradually revealing notes of oriental spices.
Mouth
Supple and velvety, structured thanks to its vibrancy and firm tannins, its flavors echo those of the nose, but subtle notes of licorice gradually reveal themselves, with a long and elegant finish.

About wine:
Richly structured and dense, the wine is balanced with tannins already integrated with black fruit flavors. This wine, with its acidity and mineral texture, has further aging potential. Drink from 2026 onwards.

About wine:
Very dark color with a purplish rim, no sign of color evolution. An explosion of black fruit, blackberry, and damon aromas, but without obvious sweetness, i.e., with the dark, rocky, and savory character of the Douro. Chewy but not aggressive tannins, in the process of resolving. If you open this wine now, you will need to drink it with a meal—although in fact, it will probably always be a meal wine. The Touriga is evident not only in the color but also in a floral note. The tannins are compact and balanced, but they would need another year in the bottle to blossom. Long, finely textured finish with a fresh aftertaste accentuated by the tannins, or perhaps vice versa. 2025-2031
