The bouquet is distinguished by its precision and aromatic purity. Lively red fruits prevail with notes of raspberry and cherry, accompanied by characteristic vine freshness. Subtle botanical nuances evoke fern and undergrowth, enriched by hints of wild and floral herbs that add a captivating complexity.
Palate
The attack reveals a compact and refined structure, carried by linear tannins and powerful acidity. The finish is long, developing a seductive complexity that lingers harmoniously.
Food Pairings and Tasting Occasions
This vintage Porto pairs perfectly with nuts, strongly flavored blue cheeses, and dried fruits such as apricots or figs. It can also be enjoyed on its own in a large glass. Serve between 16°C and 18°C after decanting, leaving the bottle upright for a few hours beforehand to allow the natural sediment to settle.
