Tasting Notes
Strong ruby, delicate ochre reflections, subtle edge brightening. Chocolatey touch, finely spiced dark berry fruit, some liquorice, nougat, multi-faceted bouquet, characterised by Tinta Barroca. Juicy, complex, hint of caramel, somewhat brittle tannins, mineral, lingers, already developed, a powerful, savoury style.
