Pure ruby. An intoxicating nose of red ripe fruits and game. Doesnt really smell like a Douro despite the age. Amazing the smells of decadent cherries, game, pot pourri, dried flowers and sun bathed bushes. Wow. Very elegant and resolved but full of energy. Long and totally attached to the palate. The Days in the dark Turn it into a beauty. Absolute prime drinking time .

Opened the first of 3 bottles. In the beginning intense vanilla, cherry and rasberry. In the glass at first the hot vintage shines through, but the slightly cooked aromas are gone within a couple minutes. Very focused nose of red fruit and menthol. The tannins still have a lot of grip, and give the wine a very good structure.
I would guess this wine has at least 10 years of live ahead and will improve for another 3-5 years.

No longer the dark hole of its youth but still with a lot of ruby color to share. This comes from a hot vintage but no one could tell, as the nose is all about fresh red fruits (raspberries),dried bushes and a suggestion of violet. A medium body palate where elegance is the key word. The fruit, the dried bushes are entwined with a great sense of freshness. Fully resolved tannins and shy on the acids. Missing a bit of punch. Maybe a bit more resolved than i would like or expect. Starting to drink well and hopefully will maintain for the next couple of years.

Beginning to deliver its promise. Beautiful wine, compact, focused and very precise. Not quite as mineral as Poeiras from fresher vintages like 02 and 04, but a very tasty concentration of dark fruit flavours. Blackberries and blackcurrant galore. Combined with spice box and fine grained tannins, this is a joy to drink.
