Medium-dark very clear ruby. Mexican chocolate, with vanillin and a touch of red berries on the nose. Sweet mulberries and blackberries on the attack with milk chocolate seamlessly integrated. There is also a curious mildly herbal note underlying the dominant notes listed above that lingers throughout the lengthy finish. Very well made and while the quasi port-like quality isn’t my preference I still enjoyed it greatly.

At Rare wine dinner (Muru) from Magnum. On the nose subtle red/dark fruit with a hint of roasted notes. Medium bodied, smooth, silky, resolved tannins, showing subtle mellow dark fruit with a roasted aspect. Nicely developed but it felt like it is almost over the top already.

This has held up remarkably well. Inky color. Nose of dark fruit and graphite. Flavors of chocolate, blackberry, charcoal. Assertive tannins, well integrated. Long finish

Excellent Douro red. No formal notes- enjoyed with roast chicken.
