Full, complex, interesting wine. Drinking very well but has more years left at this level I think. Will it improve further??

Resin on the nose. Concentrated, tannic and high acidity. Very little wood here. Long aftertaste. This should be laid down for many years.
Funghi at the nose. At the mouth tabacco and leather. Lot of finesse and elegance.
5th Annual Grand Tasting of Portuguese Wines (One Leidesdorff Building, San Francisco, California): Tart black fruit, smoky, tart berry nose; tasty, poised, tart currant palate; medium-plus finish 91+ points (18 mos. in oak)
