Reviews
93/100 Points - Wine Enthusiast- A wine that is only made in top vintages, this is fully mature. Its black fruits have developed into generous secondary flavours, and spice and tannins have come together with the wine's fruitiness. Drink this serious wine now. Roger Voss.
17,5 pts Vinho Grandes Escolhas- Intense ruby colour. Floral, black fruit and balsamic aroma. Elegant structure, delicate character and with a fresh finish on the palate.
