Tasted by the glass at the estate in Camara de Lobos, bottle opened 10 days ago; hue turning to brown; superb nose of thyme, pepsi cola, caramel and orange slice. Palate delicate, medium sweat with, lighlty herbal, high bitter, high alcohol. Excellent but less depth and structure after H&H sercial 2001.92

Having tried the previous bottling (with no silver sticker) and the current stickered bottling, I can say the previous was much more striking and vibrant. The new one has toned the acidity down and placed more emphasis on the chocolate, foliage, and hazelnut.
Still a very good representation of this rare style, but look for the sticker-less ones if you can.

Delicious close to proceedings. Salty and with bright orange-accented acidity, but beautifully balanced and thus not at all challenging or harsh. I love rancio!

Calf leather, salted walnuts, bitter orange, tobacco, crayon, and olive brine. Really quite salty and moreish with a chewy texture. It’s so complex but gorgeously balanced. A wine to luxuriate in.
