  Opened for 3 hours. Color is dark garnet with some orange on the rim showing age. On the nose: Dark chocolate, plum, red and black berries and orange zest. On the palate: Plum, dark chocolate, lots of spice notes, licorice, tart red berries and notes of orange zest. This is very good now but has lots of life left I think.

  I'd say this is in ita absolute prime. Perfect tannins, dark cherry, prune and chocolate followed with beautifully subtle hint of licorice. Delicious!!!

  The 2004 Pintas is still extremely young. Young in the dark colour, young in the intense aromas of dark berries, licorice, bush (rockrose), Christmas cake and a slight wood coat wrapping the all. The palate is full bodied with a velvet glove grasping the fruit, the bushes and covering the great wall of tannins....a beast of a wine....but very true to its origin. Old world on steroids with a need of several more years in bottle. Finishes long and full bodied like a black cape covering any sense of light. Hold for another 10 years.

  Bought this at a Portuguese wine store in Newark - wasn't sure how well they stored their bottles so I went ahead and opened it now fearing it would be past prime. Was definitely not - dark crimson in color, could smell the age and see the red color starting to fade, but only slightly. Easily good for another ~5 years. Good fruit, a tad chalky, plenty of alcohol - needed to decant. Wish I would have saved for a few years!

  Dark crimson colour.
  Opulent on the nose full of aromas of plums, cherries, oak and high alcohol that it is not well-integred.
  Still tannic in the mouth. Intrusive oak. Cooffe bean note too.
  Modern style coming from nowhere.
  Let's wait five years or so for the last bottle.
  
  De color carmesí. Capa muy larga.
  Opulenta en nariz llena de aromas a ciruelas, cerezas, roble y un alto alcohol que no está muy bien integrado.
  Todavía tánica en boca. Roble intrusivo. Tambien notas a pepita de café.
  Estilo moderno sin sensación de terruño.
  Esperemos unos cinco años para la última botella.
