"The best of the Douro region in this complex, long-fermented port!"

"Deep garnet with a deep brick-red hue at the rim, still very red after a long time in barrel. Wonderfully fragrant: classic dried fruit notes are enhanced by hints of herbs and citrus. Silky at first, it has a slight grip on the finish. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, and although the wine is sweet, it is also very fresh. Long, elegant, and fruity. 2023–2032” (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Notes of fresh leather, cream, chocolate, caramel, cranberries, and dried cherries. Good body and viscosity, with plenty of sweetness and acidity, resulting in a well-balanced wine. Slightly viscous on the palate, medium-bodied to full-bodied. The alcohol is well integrated. Ready to drink now.
