Decanted for 2 hours. This bottle was better than my last one about 4 years ago. The formerly very dominant acidity is much better integrated. 92-93 pts. at the moment.

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Portugal (By BS): In the bouquet fresh cherries, sweet spices and some mint. On the palate juicy cherries, dark berries, vanilla, licorice and chocolate. Good acidity and a pleasant touch of sweetness and round tannin, Excellent wine! Pleasant already and with a future of at least 5 - 8 years.

Very modern Douro wine, feels like it could have been from Washington State/Walla Walla. Ripe red and black fruits, with some oak influence. Tasty wine, with some depth of flavor but not at all distinct.
