O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022

It is a full-bodied red wine with a 'freixenista' character of the Upper Douro. Aroma of black fruits, with notes of liquorice, spices, violets, bergamot and rock-rose, in balance with very elegant notes of barrel aging.
Very complex and elegant, very mature, with fine, firm but smooth tannins, making this wine long and full with a fruity flavour, anticipating an excellent potential for ageing in bottle.
