Il résulte d’un assemblage de vins âgés, qui offrent une complexité supérieure, avec des vins plus jeunes, qui apportent des arômes de fruits frais. Élégant et doux, il présente des notes subtiles de fruits secs et de confiture. Ce porto doit être servi légèrement frais, à l'apéritif ou au dessert. Vol de 20%. |
