  Dark purple, dense, very enjoyable wine, decant for 2 - 3 hours for best results.

  Tasted among Flaccianello, Trapiche Orellana Malbec & Vinha Maria Teresa Crasto. Deep purple with a tight and very oaky nose possibly aged in 100% new highly toasted oak. Black fruit and sweet spice together with meaty notes on the background. Solid on palate with zesty acidity and medium + firm velvety tannins that need time. Mid-palate lacks great concentration and volume. Medium + legth. After 3-4 years.

  Tasted blind and then drank over lunch with friends. The weakest of the 4 wines we tasted, with overripe, raisiny fruit, intense oak and heat from the alcohol. Full-bodied with firm tannins and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste.

  A supposed prestige cuvee from Alpha Estate which fails to convince. Nose has black jammy fruit that verges on overripeness, overoaked with some greenness. Mid-palate is somewhat hollow and alcohol is evident. So a wine that is supposed to deliver much but fails to do so. Almost porty nose without the concentration in the palate to match.
