Tasting Note
Mesmerising aromas; lavender, eucalyptus, green tea and liquorice. On the palate, the concentration and intensity are striking with layers of complexity. There is a wonderful interplay of invigorating black and red fruits underpinned by schist tannins that give balance to the impressive structure. The Sousa?o comes through in a spicy seasoning that underscores the wine’s remarkable freshness. The seductive finish is endless and inspirational.
