Dark red, edges brown and paling. Large bq w chocolate, elegant oak, touch of smoke, dark berries, red currants, white pepper. Medium+ body w still prominent, fine-grained tannins, nice acidity, fruit slightly drying up. Good balance. Aftertaste w some alcohol and elegance. Nice! Will last a bit, but the descent has begun.

Blackcurrant, pepper and chocolate on the palate. Great structure with good acidity and silky tannins. Medium bodied but with good length. There is still much room to develop even after 15 years. Love this wine.

The wine has passed its peak as the aroma disappears very quickly after it opened and it is hollow in the mid palate. This might be the storage problem, but I will try a different bottle sometime in the near future to determine whether this is only a problem of bottle variation.

Colour is somewhat faded. Plum and cigar on the nose. Blackcurrant, red cherries, pepper and chocolate on the palate. Nice oak and tannins, somewhat softened. Medium bodied but with good length. Drinking very well now but will have many years in front of it.

Confraria - Agosto - 2014 (Bassi Templo da Carne - São Paulo - Brazil): Elegant but young. Primary aromas of red fruits. Needs time.
