    Beautifully smooth with deep rich colour of ripe berries. Very sophisticated nose hinting to a devlishly decadent dessert. Tastes of sun-ripened fruit and chocolate, delicately grounded by a mellow woody note. This wine glides down effortlessly, leaving you begging for more. We promptly bought 2 more bottles!

    a good friend recommended this wine and it turned out to be out of this world. Fruity like raspberry and chocolaty and very smooth. One of my favorite wines from the Lisbon wine fair.

    Chocolate and raspberry nose on this monster. Very rich and well made if not a little big. In the mouth black raspberry, coffee, chocolate, and dark spices come out. A well made wine that really needs a few hours to open up fully. I would like to try it over the course of a day to see how it evolves.

    14.5% Alc. and a blend of 42% Syrah, 39% Aragonez (Tempranillo) and 19% Touriga Nacional. This wine is dark and inky with strong aromas of blueberry, vanilla, black licorice and wood. Powerful wine with softer features and lots of chocolate, spice and blueberry on the palate. 4/5
