Ruby to slightly orange colour, giving away its age a bit. Typical Portugese nose, but with the elegancy of a great Burgandy. A very fresh wine, with eucalyptus, anise, rustic, dried cherries & black berries, marzipan and almost liquourice tones. Firm tannins, though very elegant. The wine kept on changing over the evening, becoming more smooth. I need to have more of this.
