  The label doesn't say anything about Cabernet Sauvignon, but the label does look very much like the wine that later become Bacalhôa Cabernet Sauvignon, so it's possible that this is the same wine. 11,5% alcohol.
  
  Cloudy, brown, fully opaque appearance. Unpleasant, oxidized nose of rancid nuts, stale bread, some raisin and a little bit of dusty attic. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and flat on the palate with unpleasant flavors of raisins, madeirized fruit, some rancid nuts, a little bit of mouldy rye bread, light soy sauce tones and a hint of earth. The overall feel is quite high in acidity with rather firm and assertive tannins. The finish is long, dry and somewhat grippy with a flat, oxidized and dull aftertaste of nuts and stale rye bread.
  
  Unpleasant and rather repulsive. Horribly oxidized. Nothing alive here.
