Tasting Notes: A special selection of the best lots from the harvest year. Produced in very small quantities and only in the best years. Deeply complex in a bouquet of aromas, with notes of dried flowers, black tea, cedar and smoke. Intense structure, with a lot of black fruit extract, firm and balanced tannins, with a creamy aftertaste, very well supported by the fresh and balanced acidity. Impressive aftertaste with lots of fruit. A mythical approach to the character and aromas of the Alentejo lands.
