Good stuff. A bit bloody and adolescent surly to start. Figures itself out with solid chewy fruit and a nice square structure. Notes of peat, moss. Good finish that recapitulates.

Excelente. Importante decantar com umas 2 horas. Aromas muito característico do Pape a madeiras novas com fundo de fruta madura. Em boca redonda, saboroso, muito vivo com uma acidez perfeita.

O vinho estava muito jovem, com taninos ainda selvagens, além de ainda estar muito fechado. Ficou faltando a elegância, a fruta e o equilíbrio dos excelentes vinhos do Dão. Recomendaria esperar uns 2/3 anos para degustá-lo, pois tem um grande potencial, se bebido na época certa.

Consistently good, year after year, this is an outstanding wine. Still very young, obviously, but already displaying its balance and elegance combined with its intense aromatics profile and full-bodied palate. Aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, wet earth, and spices, with a solid backbone and a long finish. Portuguese magnificence in a glass. Drink from 2013 until 2016.
