November 25, 2022 - 醒酒两个小时，深石榴红色，闻香有些许坚果，皮革和肉鲜，一些氧化的果味例如话梅，泥土气息，以及充分陈年的橡木桶带来的香料味。入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，有些抓人，颗粒细腻，酒液咸，收口甜，咸橄榄的口感，带着坚果和话梅味，融合的香料感，后段有酒精感，余味香草奶油和辛香料味。橡木桶主导的一款老酒，展现出充分陈年的复杂度，如托斯卡纳一般的酸度，又有新世界的甜，有氧化特征，果实的能量已经不那么强，带着草本植物的咸橄榄味，处在适饮期末期的一款酒。

January 31, 2018 - Smells oxidised and tainted by VA - this is not right; poor bottle?
June 5, 2017 - Merest colour change at the rim; a big rich figgy nose, almost reminds me of PX; a bit closed on the palate, nice tannins and mouth-feel but not a lot of flavor or complexity on show. A funny stage?
January 1, 2017 - Fantastic wine. Pure Douro. Great with fran rack.
January 29, 2016 - Mid red at the rim - toasted oak and dark fruits on the nose. Quite plump and soft, after 2 hours' decant it did become a little more interesting - a well made "poule de luxe".
September 13, 2015 - My friend Yannis who opened this bottle suggested it might have not been stored well, but I found nothing wrong with this bottle.
Mature and complex nose full of ripe fruit, chocolate, coffee and hints of violets.
Velvety on the palate, velouté-like with lots of fruit compote like plum and red berries. Very nice wine.
September 11, 2015 - Quite evolved. Medium to dark garnet. Sultanas, noticeble florality, sweet spices, coffee, evolved cherry, blackcurrant and berry fruit. Sweet, with silky tannins and perfect balance. Almost long aftertaste. At peak.
August 16, 2015 - Good but not great,didn't blow my mind...
April 10, 2014 - Drank in Davy's
Has a Bordeaux feel to it with a Portuguese bite
