O Produtor, tasting note published in May 26th 2020

Intense colour, with violet hues. Very lifted, complex aroma, showing mature red berry fruits, characteristic balsamic notes from old vines, spicy barrel notes. Great balance and elegance, with fine integrated tannins and balancing acidity. Long and persistente finish, with potential for great longevity in the bottle.
