95 Points

Thursday, July 10, 2014 - Despite the still strong tannins this wine is polished and a real Portuguese representation of Tempranillo. Deceptively dense and dark purple in colour. Fairly tight nose, it is still young after all. Creamy, rich kirsch and cocoa hit at the front of the palate. The real strong point of this wine is the texture; dense and chewy like biting into a blackforest cake or the crunch of an apple. Finishes with soft baking spice and polished graphite laced field berries. The clean medium finish that coats your mouth and sits there. After it fades I would realize 30 seconds later that it was still lacing my throat. Second coming. Drinking now with a decent decant but don't be scared to age and revisit in 4+ years.
