Eye
Intense purple color, brilliant sheen
Nose
Intense and complex, with enticing aromas of dark fruits: crushed blackcurrant, blackberry, and black plum; little by little, notes of oriental spices emerge,
Palate
Supple and velvety, with good structure thanks to its vibrancy and firm tannins; its flavors echo those on the nose, but a few subtle hints of licorice gradually emerge, leading to a long, elegant finish.

About the wine:
Richly structured and full-bodied, this wine is well-balanced, with tannins that are already integrated with the dark fruit flavors. With its acidity and mineral texture, this wine has the potential to age further. Best enjoyed starting in 2026.

About the wine:
Very dark color with a purplish rim; no signs of color change. An explosion of black fruit aromas—blackberry and damson—but without any obvious sweetness; in other words, it exhibits the dark, rugged, and savory character of the Douro. Chewy but not aggressive tannins, currently softening. If you open this wine now, you’ll need to drink it with a meal—though, in fact, it will likely always be a wine for the table. The Touriga comes through not only in the color but also in a floral note. The tannins are firm and balanced, but they would benefit from another year in the bottle to fully develop. A long, finely textured finish with a fresh aftertaste accentuated by the tannins—or perhaps the other way around. 2025–2031
