  not bad at $10 but still young and a little disjointed.
  
  bright nose of tart raspberry, bitter greens, black coffee, and gummi bears.
  
  needs lots of air.
  once open, medium body with notes of young brambly red fruit, white chocolate, baking spice and spring flowers.
  
  sharp acid and bitter black tea tannins detract from the fruit and texture.
  
  this might improve with time. good but not great. not worth the WE 91 IMO but not a bad value at $10

  June 22, 2015 - Medium-thick nose of dark fruits and earth. Mouth is lighter than expected but rich with moderate fruit (plum compote) very well balanced tannins, and great spice that builds into a peppery finish.

  January 4, 2015 - I am loving Portuguese wine and this bottle is np exception. Great flavor, fairly dry but not overpowering. Only $9 US.
