This wine derives a natural complexity of aroma and flavor from its three main grapes: earthiness from Trincadeira, red fruit from Aragonez and herbal character from Castelao. When you smell the wine, a deep richness of red and black fruits, smokiness, and mint emerge. The aroma suggests a cross between the deep, lean, lead-pencil and black fruit character of a great Pauillac and the gamey, spicy, complex notes of a Northern Rhone wine. In your mouth, the wine is full bodied and dry, with very elegant tannins that run all through the wine, giving it a rich velvety texture. The wine's flavor is nevertheless perfectly in balance with its structure.
