Fortified Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

The wine has a ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense and persistent aromas, clean and very elegant with great personality. There can be perceived aromas of black cherry, cherry jam, strawberry jam, blueberry and blackberry as well as as intense and pleasing aroma of violet. In the mouth is round, soft, balanced with good correspondence to the nose, good balance between alcohol and tannins. The finish is very persistent with clean and very long hints of violet and cherry. Excellent Port which will be capable of giving great emotions with a further aging in bottle.
