Reserva Colares Vinho Tinto 1997

A special treat with family and a Portuguese dinner on the deck. After an hour of air, the nose shows a complex amalgam of crushed rock dust, hickory smoke, leather, and even a little macerated cherry fruit. Loads of flavor in an impossibly light frame. 11% alcohol. Went very well with braised chicken and Chourica stew. — 6 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I’m with @Peter Sultan on this one, I still have a few bottles left, Colares is a beautiful appellation to visit if you get to Portugal.

Nice! Viva the small but merry band of Colares hipsters! Add the vintage, dude (methinks it is either 2006 or ‘09). Last time drunk was with you@Owen Mazon

One of the rare, growingly extinct wine regions in the world-a coastal area near Lisbon, 50 acres left- that’s it. Ramisco is a red varietal, High acid, low alcohol- only older vintages released.

Casta Ramisco 1997

Don’t know if I settled down the third time around or the wine did, but a more focused experience this time. Who knows, maybe three times a charm. An ethereal light to medium body, all balsamic, mushroom notes & wild black currants. — 6 years ago

Collares Genuino Premiado 2006

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. — 7 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.
