Rounded and ripe, this attractive, rich wine shows wood aging, ripe tannins and a firmer, drier core. Solid and dense, it has good acidity as well as a tight texture. The wine will need further aging, so don't drink before 2016.

A darkly tannic wine, this is very firm and dense. Its red-berry fruit palate shows some of the perfume of Touriga Nacional, and its a concentrated wine that needs at least three-years aging.
