Deep ruby colour with violet highlights. A ripe aroma of well-integrated red fruit, with notes of spice and balsamic. Balanced and round, with flavours of fruit and spice. Good structure with well-polished tannins. Pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine, pasta, lamb and white meats. Serve at 16–18 °C. 14% vol., presented in a 0.75 L bottle. Scores: Wine Enthusiast 90/100, Revista de Vinhos 15.5/20, Grandes Escolhas 16/20. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which lets the aromas breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
