May 22, 2017 - A convincing demonstration that the grapes traditionally used to make Portuguese Port can also make a fine dry red wine. Features refreshing acidity, firmly drying tannin, and the ability to last and improve 14 years old. The texture is smooth without being lush or caressing. The primary fruit is a briary blackberry, but fruit is not central in this wine. Right now the wine has a saddle leather component but shows signs of heading closer toward glove leather with more age.

April 19, 2013 - It had a very nice nose, very balance and the tannins were very smooth. It was drinking really well. It had a nice fruity-ness to it.
