Integrated collection of deep flavors, piqued by (excellent) rubber tire on the nose, followed by slightly sweet touriga nacional flavors and a mineral hint on the finish. Drink now!

I really have no idea where this wine is in the spectrum of things. It definitely isn't done, but it has a big hole in the middle. The nose is fruitcake and cola. The entry is pretty big and rounded. Powerful fruit. At first the middle was dead, but after 30 minutes it really started to come around and showed some cinnamon, spice, nutmeg. The finish became a little more acidic. Slight toasted tannin finish. Really impressed. I have stayed away from opening these mainly because I thought they were all dead, but curiosity killed the fat cat and the result was MUCH better than expected.

Cork was wet, so the wine lost a bit of it's quality, but still OK. Normally it would be 92-93 and I hope that my second bottle will be like this.

Needs some air to come around, but that's an excellent wine with great complexity!
