Inky and concentrated, with opaque color given by the famous old vines of Retiro Antigo. This concentration combines perfectly with the freshness imparted by the wines from the higher lying Cavadinha vineyards to produce lovely fresh flavors of blackberry fruit. A wine of enormous elegance, combining vibrant lifted fruit with power and long lasting flavors. The wine was much enhanced by the exuberance of the Telhada Touriga Franca grapes.
