| Tasted by Kevin H on 11/7/2009 & rated 90 points: Dense colour and solid extraction. Blackberry nose with a bit of eucalyptus developing - quite medicinal after a couple of hours in the decanter. Solid cassis fruit, sweet fruited and modern style - porty, tarry but balanced. Should age well. (550 views) | |
| Tasted by wineismylife on 10/18/2009 & rated 92 points: A mix of Portoguese wines (Farpointe Cellars, Southlake, TX): WIML92 Tasted October 18, 2009 at a retail tasting. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Rich nose of berries, a bit of blueberries, some mocha, plums, currants and white pepper.

| Tasted by lovelandre on 5/12/2009 & rated 92 points: This had really good genes, folks :) A raspberry spicy leaning nose, with cream and some pain grille . A luscious yet peppery mouth feel, pretty excellent length and complexity for such a young wine,which you also can tell from the racy acidity, all in all, impressive work. (1055 views) |
