Tasting Notes
An elegant wine with an impressive aromatic intensity of typical Touriga Nacional fruit aromas and floral notes in perfect combination with slight nuances of vanilla from its ageing in oak. A very elegant and well balanced wine with well integrated tannins and a fresh acidity leading to a long and lingering finish. A wine with enormous potential to age in bottle.
