<p></p><p>H.O Sousão is a wine with an almost opaque ruby color. The aroma has notes of black fruit, blue fruit and a very resinous and balsamic flavor. In the background, you can feel the complexity of the spices from the barrel ageing. On the palate, it is very fresh, with polished tannins that give structure and volume to the final blend and great ageing capacity</p>
