  One needs to love the style as this is almost a port with out the added spirit albeit at 5yrs old is too young and with 14.5% alc is not a light wine.
  Very fleshy, rich almost covers the palate with a dense foil of wine adn quite intense. Young for sure and in a way one dimensional, akin to a new world wine in both ripeness and power. Elegant yes but also a bit heavy and one dimensional at this stage and one needs to be a true lover of the style to enjoy now. 91-92 from us

  Touch of oak on the nose. Nice complexity all around. Pretty. Very nice. Personally I would want some more time for the oak to integrate but it drink very nice right now.

  Decanted this for 5 hours. There is no sign of any age on the color. Still retains that fresh lively dark stone fruit on the nose. A slight creaminess at first quickly steps aside as the vibrant black cherries, tar, moderate tannins, and acidity take over in the mouth. As it transitions to the finish cracked white pepper and graphite appear, as does even more tannins. That youthful oak and vanilla back when it was new has totally integrated now and no longer protrudes. The very long and full finish goes on for what seems like minutes. This drinks incredibly well at the moment, yet is still so primary and youthful as it approaches its 10 year anniversary. Hard to put this one down and this bottle won't last long, that's for sure. A killer Douro wine that has a long life ahead of it.
