Exploring the wines of Portugal @ Raimondo's (Netherlands): Closed for business, hard to assess. Huge concentration and density, made in a dry, dark and gloomy style. Not too sweet, but very large and broad. Way to young now, lots of cellaring potential though. For now 16,5/20 but might score significantly higher in 3 years time.

Occasional tasting group: Portugal plus some extra's. (@ RT): Enormous concentration. Chocolate, soft cassis, raspberries, nuts and bitterness. Good tannin and acidity. Good harmony. This wine is still in its youth. Needs at least another 3 years.
