Consultant Michel Rolland and Caves Alianca winemaker Francisco Atunes have produced a rich, smooth, polished blend of Aragones and Trincadeira. Flavors of wood, chocolate, spice and deep black fruits combine richly and with intensity. This is a limited production of 21,000 bottles.——R.V.(12/1/2004)—— 90

A ripe, tarry-flavored wine, with great tannins and red berry fruits. With its layers of dryness, and sweet and sour acidity, this would be excellent with fatty meats. Will age well over the next five years. Imported by Tri-Vin Imports. ——R.V.(3/1/2006)—— 88
