17.5 points Wine Magazine.

Made with Tannat, Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional grapes, vinified separately in 500L rotating barrels, followed by 12 months of aging in 225L barrels of different wood origins, and another 12 months of aging in the bottle where it continues to rest.

Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional, and Tannat form a somewhat unusual blend of grape varieties, but one that results wonderfully in this red wine, combining the ripe fruit and floral nuances of the Portuguese varieties with the texture and muscle of the French variety, all enveloped by the Atlantic freshness of this terroir. Despite its aging, it remains extremely young, dark and concentrated, vigorous and opulent, with mint and pepper in a very long and refreshing finish. A great red wine that transcends trends and will remain with us for decades to come.
