After memorable bottles in the past this one didn't impress. A well crafted Douro, red berries, caramel, tobacco, violet and herbs, but lacking extraction and depth. Not sure time will sort.

Full bodied, intense. Oak, toast, vanilla on the nose. On the palate bright intense red fruit and blackberries, oak, earth, tar. Lots of tannins in the acid finish. This improved greatly with 2-3h of air time. Pumped down overnight, more tart on day 2. 91/92

Robe intense rubis
Nez intense secondaire élevage en barrique de chêne
Primaire prune bleue
Sec
Acidité élevée
Tanins puissants
Alcool élevé
Corps puissant
Arômes cassis mûre fruits noirs cèdre bourbon vanille
Finale moyenne
Gagnera à vieillir pour assouplir des tanins trop présents et asséchants. Notes secondaire marquées peut être un peu trop
