It has an intense amber colour, often with golden reflections. On the nose, it reveals incredible complexity, with notes of dried fruit, such as walnuts and almonds, and hints of honey, sweet spices (cinnamon and cloves) and caramel. There are also hints of crystallised fruit, dried figs and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with a sweetness well balanced by vibrant acidity. The flavours confirm the aromatic profile, with dried fruit, honey and caramel standing out. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a pleasant unctuousness and a saline touch, typical of Carcavelos wines. It is excellent as a digestif, accompanying strong cheeses, desserts based on nuts, or even on its own to appreciate its complexity. Highly recommended to savour with a cigar.
