This Avidagos vineyard in the Corgo River Valley is one of the oldest in the Douro. The wine, from a parcel of old vines, is hugely powerful and dense. With its dark tannins, concentrated black fruits, it could be too much. Somehow it pulls back leaving a very rich wine but also one that has structure and final freshness. The wine needs to age and should not be drunk before 2020.
