Leaky cork but wine was fine. Dark inky reddish , some brown. Took a couple hours to open up but then drank very nicely. There is a denseness to the wine without being thick . Dark berries and a nice minerality. Tasty. Past its prime but still good drinking.

I feel this region has so much going for it, but the winemakers don't yet know how to tame it.
Some people love these dense ripe young wines - I find them a bit impenetrable, and that isn't pleasurable. Perhaps it will turn into something more delicious, but I fear the alcohol burn on the finish.
14% ABV. Sealed with cork.

A confirmação de uma das melhores relações qualidade e preço. Notas tostadas da Madeira e fruta bem presente. Este e um excelente vinho. Muito ao estilo de anos anteriores um vinho elástico que se adapta a vários tipos de comida. Fruta madura, taninos suaves e um excelente aroma em nariz. Uma compra que deve ser repetida.

Excellent wine! Still full of fruits. Ripe berries. Really well balanced. Somewhat long in mouth. Joyful!!

Full bodied. Dark cherry and plums. Herbal element. Medium finish, drying chunky tannins. Nice wine once it given time to open up.
