Vintage 2008 - Cedar and spicyness. Impression of chocolate. Classic smell, still a bit tannic.

Dark and opaque colors. Sheen is shiny, water thin. Wish it had more concentration. Flavors were leveled from start to finish, consistent. Aromas were dark with subtle even with time.

Almost Merlot like in its velvety tannins and sweet cherry notes.

A great and friendly wine based on traditional Douro grapes and some Syrah - succeeding to pull an elegant wine and a good value for money 👏😄
