| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.7 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by YWG Wine Guy on 2/18/2014: Well, been a good year on since last go. Perhaps not as complex as i suggested, based on another reviewers notes, but still a steel at 18$. Clearly not improving further with age and is time to drink this over 2014 in my opinion.
Nose has again dark light fruit. Palate is med bodied at most, light acid and really subtle tannins (not smooth). Fruit is tart black cherry/blueberry with some very subtle coffee notes in background.

Pretty much similar experience. I just popped and poured a taste, but i think with a little decant and 1-2 C below room temp this will sing as described. Clearly will hold for a few more years as highlighted. For 18$ and from Opimian - steel. Would look for next vintage/offering from producer. Have 5 more to go.

| Red Blend.Portugal ViniPortugal (Associação Interprofissional para a Promoção dos Vinhos Portugueses/Portuguese Wine Trade Association)BeirasTo the south of both Minho and Trás-os-Montes lies the region of Beiras, stretching the full width of Portugal. Beiras is home to the more well-known DOCs of Bairrada and Dão, along with the less well-known DOCs of Távora-Varosa in the north, butting up to the Douro region, Lafões in the north west, meeting the southernmost part of the Minho region, and the large DOC Beira Interior in the north east and the south east of Beiras. Bairrada lies to the west of the region, though it doesn’t reach the coast, while Dão occupies the central part of the region. |
