Tasting Notes :
Flor de Vetus is a medium ruby color with a purple rim. The nose is dominated by notes of blueberries and blackberries, the primary characteristics of Tinta de Toro, which evolve into aromas of balsam, vegetables, aromatic herbs, and smoky wood notes. On the palate, it is gentle and fruity with notes of plums, blackberries, menthol, and some milky touches. The tannins are firm, the acidity is tense, and the finish is long and fruity. This wine is powerful but also fresh and easy to drink.
