Structured, complex wine that is only beginning to hint at considerable depth of powerful, rich flavors. The structure is dry, a little lean, but with dense tannins. The fruit, plums and stone fruits is just coming through.

"Very deep purple. Intense, primary aromas of blackberry and cherry. Smooth, rich and round texture. Lots of black fruit flavours with spicy notes. Long and firm finish. Great wine from a top Fonseca estate."

"Fine floral aroma, freshly picked violets and berries, refined, elegant yet plump with great purity of fruit on the palate. Great balance and poise."
