47% touriga, 35% mataro, 18% grenache all matured in French oak. A meaty, spicy, woodsy wine with red and black berries bouncing through the palate and sheets of graphite-like tannin pressing on the finish. It has a bit of attitude, in a good way.

The wine shows wonderful combination of blackberry and dark plum flavours with seductive warm spice, floral and cocoa characters. The palate is fleshy and plump, displaying excellent fruit power and persistency, brilliantly framed by chalky tannins. Superbly structured and lingering with sweet fruit characters with delightful spicy/savoury undertones. At its best: now to 2025.
