My prior 2013 tasting note said "This Douro has the big red and black fruit notes but the moderate earthiness and minerality to make it an interesting contrast to most New World reds. Good value and not one-dimensional like some Douros." Well, this note is mostly accurate, but it was drier and a bit one-dimensional after a 1 hour decant. Still good and well liked, but I wonder if it is not starting to fade a bit.

Fantástico. Concentração de cor, fruta enorme e barrica bem equilibrada. Elegância total e domínio da fruta madura. Um grande Douro aveludado, redondo e saboroso. Longo com caracter.

Good example of Douro wines: balsamic, mineral, concentrated, long finish.
