Taste
Torre de Esporão 2017 is dense and almost opaque in colour, delivering a complex and concentrated bouquet of blueberries, dark chocolate liqueur, liquorice, and a hint of fresh mint. On the palate, this wine is deep and compact, creamy and dense, with a satiny texture and precise definition. The finish is exceptionally long, full of character, and well-supported by well-integrated spice and oak.
