2007 Qta d Romaneira VP. Color is a light ruby red. Red currant, pine resin, protruding spirit, and anise. Light to moderate complexity with a spirity finish. A more delicate VP that appears to be maturing at a faster than anticipated rate. Not sure if in an awkward stage or not. Will have to revisit in due course. Right now, 89/100

Simple and ready to go, with tons of grape soda, dark fruit and a slight floral note. Decent for the $20 I paid 12 years ago, but nothing special. I will say that it did get better with air and was significantly better a few days later. Lacking in structure, acidity and tannin.

FTLOP 18th Anniversary; 11/17/2023-11/19/2023 (Seattle, Washington): Deep, dark purple garnet in color. The nose offers a mix of dusty fruit, with ripe blueberry, blackberry, and a touch of herbs. On the palate, it's like indulging in a blackberry cobbler, with a smooth and well-balanced character, showcasing good tannins. Lovely, long, jammy finish.

Enjoyable, but definitely not enough tannin. Needs more structure to keep it from jumbling together.
