Merchant's description
Only used barrels and stainless steel, this opens with a gorgeous nose of great purity and precision, a mix of brambles and crisp black fruits amidst an open, speckled Douro fragrance and some lovely cassis notes. Super depth on the palate, more of that spicy perfume, dark flowers, raspberry, and a crisp tannic bite reminiscent of Cabernet Franc. Lovely balance, delicious! 0-5 years.
