There must be a story here, as this 100% Ramisco has a Colheita designation on its label, which I thought could only be used for Port. For a 23 yro wine it still flutters with intensity, but has a faded Ribena palate, beautiful red brick color, & crushed currants/oil paint on the nose. It also avoids the metallic flavor my previous bottle had. For under 40$ it’s a treat to taste such a graceful aged wine. — 5 years ago

I've yet to open my only bottle brought home from Lisbon but I have heard they fall apart a bit pretty quickly with air... Was this your experience? How long did you have it open and watch it?

Was open for approx. 10 hours - lunch til late evening. Wasn't falling apart, but did improve.

Bramble, brick, less brett than 08, forest, cherry, dried rose petal. Very complex. Beautiful wine although is doesnt have the bracing acidity of the 08. — 6 years ago
