Hard to believe it's been over a year since drinking my first bottle and it still tastes great! Beautifully balanced, moreso than previously. I opened it as a last-minute impromptu choice with leftovers and was pleasantly surprised. This is as good as many $20 wines I've had lately. I'll buy more if I can find it. Excellent QPR.

Still very good, possibly with a couple more years on it--good acid & some grip on the end. Has smooth dark cherry & red fruit flavors, smells of wet leaves as well. Very similar profile to my other note still and still a great value.

popped and poured, and drank without food. Much like DOF, this wine was not as good as the other bottles I had drank of it earlier in the year. It seemed a a little more bitter, with less fruit. Still had some strawberry on the palate. Also added a little funkand earthiness to the nose, and to the taste, which somewhat blew off after a while, but not completely. I am far from an expert, but I think this is on the way down and would drinke em up soon if you have em...
My wife liked it even less than I did...and actually poured out her glass

Exceeded expectation. Fuel for an increasing interest in Portugal.

Still good after another 1 1/2 years. Best $5 wine ever.
