The posted "drink-by" date of 2020 is past. In my opinion, this wine is now entering a fine phase. Full-bodied, with layers of fruit set off by subtle tannins. This wine is delicious now and will continue to hold for at least a couple more years. Glad I have more! Enjoy!

Dense dark spicy wine Lots of dark fruit with some fennel, no obvious oak. Supple tannins Cloves and blueberries So distinctly Douro Just beginning to open up and the last glass was definitely the best. Lots of sediment so decanting recommended and will open it up No hurry to drink

Way to young to drink. Shows its youth with both the intense purple color and crazy tannins. Age at least another 3-4 to be enjoyable, as will be a good bottle. Right now it is just a tannin bomb.
