Tuesday, May 17, 2022 - Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Portugal (By BS): In the bouquet dark berries, sweet licorice, some bell pepper, vanilla and creamy lactic impressions. On the palate dark and red berries, green herbs, some mint, beautiful acidity and round tannin with a pleasant bite. Good length. Beautiful wine.

Possibly I was a bit too enthusiast that particular evening. And you must know I never consider the price in my tasting notes. Cheers, Z.
