"The prolonged stage in wooden casks give the wine unique quality and characteristics. It is clear and auburn, with greenish spots and so concentrate that is has some viscosity. The aroma is also impressive for the complexity and the time it needs on the glass until it reveals its full potential; it has notes of iodine, almonds, woods, spices, dried fruits and dried nuts, roasted aromas, of smoke, coffee, bread, chocolate and dried herbs. With a rounded, sweet, velvety, complex and complete taste in acidity and sweetness, in a unique harmony; the aftertaste emphasizes almonds, roasted coffee and torrefaction. Persistent, balanced, fresh, pleasant." —winemaker
"Light, orange-tinted amber color, magnificent perfumed nose with great class showing an array of dried fruits. Outstanding mature concentrated palate with full honeyed fruit, gorgeously mellowed. Simply delicious with an aftertaste that lasts and lasts. An excellent alternative to Vintage Port at less formal occasions. Will keep for some weeks after opening." —winemaker
