Almaśnica Quatro Castas Vertical - 2010, 2011, and 2012.: Reading my note from when I bought this wine, I had predicted it would not make old bones. And man was I correct - I didn't think, hovewer, that it would last so little! This was the third disappointment of the night, although it showed better than the preceding Almaúnicas. This Malbec-prevailing blend had a bit more complexity and a more enticing nose, with cherries dominating. However, the fruit is already muted, certainly killed by the excessive oak this wine was subjected to. 87-88 pts tops.

Excellent QPR - drinking as well as when I first tasted it at the winery. However, I'm still not convinced if this is a wine for the long haul. So let the true big boys from France and Italy, for example, sleep while you enjoy this well-made bottle of wine!

Vinho equilibrado, mas de QPR não tão bom quanto outros do mesmo nível.
