At opening mature complex and a subtile fruityness. 18 C and after 1 hour a dry tone appeared and some tannins accompanying the alcohol. 19 C and less appearance of fruit. (91p) Will continue the bottle tomorrow. Dark berries, bold with medium+ body, complexity and balance. Excellent! (+92p)

A very intriguing and satisfying wine that evolved noticeably over a few hours. Med+ purple in color with a lush nose of black fruits and grapes, it spent the first hour delivering predominantly primary fruit flavors of dark grapes with boysenberry. Once that calmed and opened up some, it introduced cedar and violets and cinnamon along with wet stone. In fact, it went through about 3-4 dramatic, distinct stages over the night. Fun to drink, great value.

Medium purple color. The nose sports plums, blackberries and black cherries with an inviting mix of violets, tar, clove, warm clay and black tea. Medium-bodied with refined tannins that offer structure, while medium acidity gives freshness. Tart blueberry and blackberry fruit blends well with coffee, violets, anise, tar, and these deep mineral, pencil shavings and iron tones. Deep yet lively, this will continue to get better over at least the next five years. Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira. This wine is consistently an awesome value.
