In the lot, the presence of Merlot is more evident, with notes of chocolate and black plums, in an environment where Sousão falls in the background. The environment in the mouth is very good, with a well-organized tannin structure, volume in the mouth and fresh acidity. It is very harmonious, with a clear gastronomic vocation.
