Saturday, June 10, 2023 - Quinta do Bomfim, Pinhão: More secondary than primary, with some tertiary elements. Dark chocolate (in all forms), carob, baking spices, liqueurs, coniferous forest floor, mushroom, mint, wintergreen, sweet pipe tobacco, and dusty loam.
Compelling poise and smoothness. The wine tastes like it smells. It packs medium plus acid and powdery tannins, which make their bracing presence known at the back and throughout the long finish.
Likely to enter peak form in three to five years. The wine's overall presentation indicates that it has twelve to fifteen years of life ahead. A treat! 95-96.
