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
Saddle leather, pencil lead, fresh, crisp red fruit aromatics and flavors, the leather notes run throughout but do not show barnyard or Brett, great balance and acidity, long, lingering finish, I just love Colares, amazing the depth and length this shows at 11.0% ABV!! — a month ago
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

Extremely youthful Malvasia Branco from the Colares (Portugal) region, which means these vines are planted in sand, this seems incredibly youthful, nice aromatics, but needs at least another 5+ years of cellaring to develop further complexity and become ready to drink, really an unique wine, but I wasn’t patient enough. — 4 days ago
