Dark Ruby
Very deep (almost black) in colour, immediately betrays the wine's immense richness. Aromas of very ripe berries, dark chocolate and spicy dried fruits exude from the glass. The palate exhibits a rich, warm, smooth character, yet the sheer structure and multiple layers of flavour soon unfold, with ripe red fruits, cinnamon, raisins, figs, vanilla and dark chocolate all competing for the drinker's attention. The overall impression is of a complex, well-balanced, rounded wine, thanks in no small part to ageing in a blend of Portuguese, French and American oak barriques. Our reserva makes a fine accompaniment for roast beef and duck, stews, rich game dishes and mature hard cheese.
