LOT
Currently, we have no doubts regarding great potential of this grape. It has a huge capacity of originating well- structured, exuberant and delicate wines. A year and a half after bottling the Tinta Negra 2000, we chose the 2003 harvest for a new Single Cask. Like the previous, this wine shows an excellent acidity as well as the growing, delicate and elegant aroma which is the result of aging under moderate temperatures in French old oak casks for 14 years. In May 2018, 1.015 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered.

TASTING NOTES
Amber colour.
Rich aroma of crystallized fruit, ripe apricot, caramel, almond, ground white pepper and orange peel. Clean pure palate in a fusion of citrus and caramel slightly spiced, showing the heady acidity. Unctuous and bittersweet in a long round finish.
Excellent as a digestif. Accompanies well fresh fruit like pineapple and mango. Fois-gras and fruit cakes.
