This is a wine that need lots of time in the decanter or big ass glass.

Trying to understand this wine from just pouring a glass and drinking it is pointless.

Full bodied (Imagine meatloaf in fight club, may he rest in peace) complex, super tight and vivid yet 18 years young. On the nose I sense tar (freaking new highway asphalt!) probably new and old reused oak. Scent of white spirit in that haze of tar before sweet jammy fruit appears between a rich autumn forrest with leaves that start to decompose in my nostrils. Mineral notes between iron, copper, gravel and a plummers jacket. This is by far a wine that I can’t decide if I like or love I’m intrigued by its mystique and bedazzled by its harsh appearance. These grapes must have grown on vines stuck with its roots deep in some serious steriod soil.
On the palate, long jammy blue fruit, violets, ripe black plum, blackberry, liquorice, tar, rich iron minerality towards licking your own wound. Long lasting finish going to sundried blue fruit, tobacco and jeez this wide palete with its perfectly integrated oak and smooth tannins.

I’m ready to give my verdict after 4-5 hours in the glass, I love this wine so much.

Great bubbles from Portugal.
Crean, crisp (but not so much minerals) but still a great one. Pure fruit flavours between grey pear and lemon. Medium lenght and medium alcohol.
Highly recommended when in Portugal or when in need to cool down a bit.

Still so Young but after an hour or so in a decanter the wine is lovely on the nose. This is as close as you can get a sick expensive grand cru burgundy red but from Sonoma. But not even close to be Burgundy expensive. So pure, so lingering, so extremely fine tuned, beautiful smooth tanins, red berries and a lovely Californian herbal/mineral note. Just got to Love this! Buy all you can get! 👌🏼🍷 — 8 years ago

Not a bad wine (well made and so on) but all and all not that aromatic on the nose than on the palate. Rhône style of spicy. But to much spice which makes it a bit unpleasant on my palate (one way intense mineral spice forward) I wonder about that vulcanic soil... — 8 years ago
