  December 15, 2018 - Like biting into a big piece of tar soaked licorice. Medium body. I like it.

  August 6, 2018 - This 2008 wine is still very good after 8 hours in the decanter and with steak aux poivres. Just as good as the other bottle I had over the years. My guests were just as appreciative as I was. For fun over the 8 hours I took a sip just about every 2 hours and effectively the bitter initial taste was fading out and the wine was really opening up. I give it a 90pts

  July 24, 2016 - 2 years later I come to the same conclusion of BON VINHOS in july 2014. I left this wine 8hours in the decanter and it was a superb wine. Very Syrah like. When I opened it at 10 am it was a little bitter. At diner time 6-7 pm, it was powerful and went very well with pork longe sous-vide finish over the charcoal. Very good QPR. Altough this was the last of our 3 bottles of wine for diner, it was the best even if this is not an expensive wine.

  October 14, 2014 - A very deep ruby color. The nose is a bit tight with hints of tobacco and dark berries. The palate offers blackberry, cherry, tobacco, smoked meat, chocolate, and mocha. The acidity is low, the tannins are sweet and rounded, and it finishes very smoothly.
