Tasting Note
The tradition and the secular wisdom of an historical Port Wine house now in Douro DOC version. Deep red color. Rich and plush, with earthy, mocha-like notes mixed with fruity characters, especially of dark, woodland berries. Long and velvety finish. Ready to drink, yet with ageing potential. Perfect to accompany game or red meat.
