  Might have seen better days but still a worthwhile tasting, particularly as I've had bugger-all Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Franca, blend or otherwise. Dry / low fruited with spice and tangy fruits around the edges. If nothing else there's some understated class here. I'm being a little hard on the points but this is not good value at $41.

  3 hour decant. Touriga Franca, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet.
  Pretty much what I expected - deep, dark, somewhat rough, but flavourful, is somewhat sour - fair finish - a few more years and this might improve somewhat.

  Definitely on the up.
  The concentrated ripe dark/red hedge fruit melange is starting to come together with the firm tannins and hint of oak. Very good intensity and with a structure for yet further development. Moreish.
  Should be good for five more years or so and may even make the excellent 90pt level in that period. 89+

  Equilibrado, bastante frutado no começo e no final tem boa complexidade.
