O Produtor, tasting note published in April 16th 2015

The colour of this wine is close to a superb ruby red, with a purplish sheen.
The nose reveals itself with excitement. The aromas follow each other in a superb starting with a woody side, then come the red fruits and then the terroir through and through flavours of cocoa powder, roast and Havana.
On the palate, the initial sweetness gives way to the appearance of tannic structure.
Despite a palpable density, the tannins have a great, infinite finish.
The depth and smoothness of the 1989 wine are found in this wine, the thickness of the 2000, the freshness of the 2005 and the unconsciousness of the 2009.
