September 27, 2023 - Very pale tawny, almost brown in glass
Nose of Blackberry, Raisin, Burnt sugar.
Med+ acidity, Med+ alcohol, Med+ flavor intensity, Long finish. Very good wine. 91-92 points.
Only knock is that it was rather one dimensional. Over the course of of multiple sessions with Coravin this wine really didn’t develop or gain any complexity with air and instead followed a very linear path. I would drink this now although perhaps not a rush.
May 30, 2023 - dinner at Boragó (Vitacura, Santiago de Chile): less tawny and more ruby colour in the glass with good viscosity. nose of oranges, caramel, dried fruit and pecans. smooth and silky in the mouth, the sweet flavours unfold gracefully and elegantly, lifted by a palpable acidity and buoyed by spicy touches in excellent balance. the youthful feel masks a richness and complexity that reveals itself subtly and slowly. great length.
20.5% AbV; bottled in 2016.
March 18, 2023 - Served in Riedel Champagne. Terrific balance and concentration. Citrus fruit sweetness and acidity melts perfectly with the darker, fuller notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel.
January 1, 2023 - Orange dates...and spice box. Beautiful port. Was surprised by the lighter color. Was better after the second and third tasting after air had hit it.

May 27, 2022 - A bit of alcohole but it's gets less dominant as the days goes by. My previous note is pretty accurate. A feast of orange and dates. A lot left. Intention is to drink it over, at leas, a month. See how it goes.
March 27, 2022 - Coravin tasting
Excellent!
November 12, 2021 - My first colheita and I'm surprised by the color. So light! With my french chocolate cake this is delicious. A lot left. Will be back.
Edit: Day 2 and it's fantastic. A feast of orange, dates, raisins. Yummy stuff said both me and me son.
Edit day 3: Just a little glass and it is shining now. Fantastic.
Edit day 7: Maybe best today. Maybe a touch of alcohole but nothing that disturbs. 92-93 and I'm glad I have one more bottle.
