Brulé ripe dark hedge fruits enveloped by smooth integrated tannins and with earth and dry spice nuances. Full and velvety. In my view in a perfect place. Excellent. For drinking over the next year or two while grip maintained.

Dark toned nose with plums and hints of lilac, the palate is full, dense and youthful filled with ample and ripe dark fruit, salty licorice, ink and mocha, plummy flauvors typical of many Douro wines are there too. Warm year ripeness is evident but this feels still young, could be that the best years are still yet to come.

Inky purple color; full bodied. Poured through venturi. Black fruit, licorice, and a bit of savory briar. Tannins well integrated, so smooth and silky. Lots of sediment. Paired well with spicy lamb burgers with hot tomato chutney.

Nez de caoutchouc et d'allumette, de charbon, d'épices ainsi que des notes florales. Un vin complètement fondu avec des tannins soyeux...même gouleyant. Saveurs de fruits mûrs avec un soupçon d'épices sur une finale moyenne. Délicieux et à boire sans tarder. 93+
