Deep ruby in colour, almost opaque. On the nose intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cranberry and redcurrant combine with herbal nuances, spice and cacao. On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity and firm but ripe tannins. A stony minerality combines with the precise berry and spice flavours and culminates in a deliciously lingering finish. Consider cellaring this bottle for up to 40 years!

A blend of 50% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional, 5% Sousão and 5% ‘other native red varietals’ from Quinta do Seixo and Quinta do Vau, both properties on the south side of the Douro in the Cima Corgo: very deep inky ‘black’ colour; demure and brooding on the nose, distinctly ripe, hot country fruit (kirsh) with a touch of liquorice and tar; big, ripe dark chocolate flavours, layered spicy depth, impressively structured with ripe tannins giving plenty of grip and leading to a big, expressive finish, perhaps lacking a little in freshness but very, very good. A definite keeper.
