Introduction
Tasting with VC Buddy and wife, Porto Prince, The Man and girlfriend. Most wines drank blind in rapid succession
Flight 1 - White Wines and Portuguese Wines (6 Notes)
We started with 2 white wines. Then did 3 Portuguese wines blind and tried to guess grape varietal. Last wine was full blind and confusing...smelled new world but tasted like a Rhone wine
Flight 2 - Blind Red Wines (4 Notes)
These were all blinded. By and large we were on the mark except for the Hungarian red, which no one guessed
Flight 3 - Drunken Blind Tasting (4 Notes)
At this time of night, really blind tasting. Total guessing but first wine was either corked or over the hill. Everything else was great.

Served it too cold. Should of had it warmer and decanted it. Tasted acidic with lemon, lime and stone aftertaste. Nice but needs more aging

Good depth and color. No oak so pure expression of Touriga Nacional.
Flowery aroma, black fruit on taste but charred toast aftertaste.

Tasted a lot like Right Bank wine. On the nose, floral, sweet elements. When you taste, very refined tannins, black plum, blueberries and silky finish.

Like this. Tasted Rhone like but from the aroma, smelled like it was cold climate. Red fruit and started to firm up with aeration.
