  May 11, 2024 - In beautiful shape just now, but definitely needs an hour or more in the decanter as the previous review said (and thank you for that advice). Great length, very together and rounded. Has at least 5 more years ahead of it and likely more.

  March 27, 2024 - Requires a good decant, an hour we would say before serving. This is not a PnP wine and the second bottle we had of this on the day that was not decanted was clearly a lot more aggressive and sharp . So please decant.
  Post the decant the wine relaxed, smooths out and has a lovely round, fleshy texture. We actually tasted this blind and went for tempranillo from Ribera del Duero . We should have picked the Portuguese link however as this had this porty edge to the fruit, from the heat and ripeness that adds that porty edge. Good wine solid 92-93 but please decant.

  July 20, 2023 - Un vin charmeur et harmonieux...! Arômes de fruits noirs, de vieille barrique, de cerises confits, de sucre d'orge et de notes florales sucrées. Ample et fondu avec des saveurs de fruits mûrs et d'épices-bois...vanille. Équilibré et très long. Délicieux ! Prêt à boire.

  September 11, 2022 - One of the best wines in the style from one of the best vintages, but I felt like this wine will need another 10 years. It seemed like a teenage Bordeaux. Still fruit forward, and somewhat polished.
