PnP at a Brazilian restaurant in Coral Gable with my friend Jaime.
The wine was a bit alcoholic and acidic for the first 5-10 minutes (right out of the bottle upon opened), but when a little contact with air did the trick it gained in body, character and complexity. This is a beauty at this point in time. Long and pleasant finish!
Great now but no rush either.

Decanted for about 1:15 minutes and placed back in the bottle, then consumed at Sancho restaurant in a 2 hours spam. At first the wine was still tight and sort of mute, the body is medium, good legs, with another 30-40 minutes of air in the bottle it reached the highest point of the night, good dark notes, well balance, just still linear for the real potential of the wine.
92+
Drink with 2+ hour decant or HOLD.

My selection for Mother’s Day. Out of a magnum that I had in my cellar for a little while. Opened about half an hour before lunch at a Portuguese restaurant. The wine was a bit acidic at first but now 2 hours later is singing the national anthem!
Long finish and it shows no age at all, looks like a 7-10 years old wine.
Drink or hold
