Intense lemon in colour. A great Encruzado from the Dão, remarkably
complex, with layers of “umami savouriness”, citrus fruit, herbs, wild flowers and a touch of resin and almonds, all framed by sophisticated, noble wood, and brushed with a delicate smokiness of reduction. In the mouth it is
voluminous but firm and very long, with the fruit underpinned by a marked granite minerality.
