This is an Okay wine. The body is medium+, the nose is kind of mute, it's pretty unidimensional but good. Green tea, leaves, and decent finish. Not a good value but it may get better with some time. IDK.

Portugal Reds 1988-2013: Warm, bites your nose as you smell it, low acidity. Metallic but also with wood notes and dust. Milk chocolate on the palate. Finish ff dried fruits. Young, but good.

Unfortunately I opened this bottle at a nice restaurant and despite a two hour decant it was largely undrinkable. Currently a tannic monster. Has tremendous potential as a hyper-concentrated big red. Would wait at least 5 years and this could be really good. Very sad I committed infanticide on a not inexpensive bottle.

Powerful
14 percent alcohol !
Dark ruby / purple
Slightly sweet taste
Lovely wine with cheese I think
But, I think the wine misses complexity for such an expensive / highly rated wine
