Fresh peach, grapefruit, and apple! Great wine with food — 4 months ago
Served this slightly chilled (12’C?).
Gorgeously fresh and pure dark fruit. Succulent, juicy, still primary….
Tannines and alcohol beautifully blended into the dense and viscous core. Only a slight hint of spice, chocolate and licorice now. Sweetness and freshness in excellent balance. It even feels more fresh than sweet at the moment. Certainly not too heavy nor intense.
This is so forward and yummy and sexy right now… I just don’t miss the complexity it might be lacking at this stage.
Sure, it has a few decades of life left and it could get more cerebral and complex…
But don’t bother. Drink it now! — 7 months ago
Definite grapefruit with a touch of lim and green apple. Slightly effervescent with nice acidity. A good porch wine — 5 days ago
Delightful Portuguese red! — 22 days ago
[8 hour decant] This is from a very fine lot of 1977 Graham’s I purchased in the mid-to-late 1990s from a small Napa importer, and is at the level of the 1977 Fonseca we drank last week, sweet, nice weight and balance, long, lingering finish, very nice!! — 2 months ago

1994 vintage. Popped, decanted and filtered and tasted immediately. Opened six decades too early. The whole crushed violets and plummy thang definitely there alongside hints of sweet tobacco in her breath. With apologies, just another number in your little black book. These are the pros and cons. 1.24.26. — 6 months ago
2023 vintage. Decent Douro red blend with Touriga Nacional. Plum in color, fruit forward on the nose and palette, cherry and blackberry with good acidity; slight chew but a decent finish. Pairing with spicy chicken, rice, and asparagus. — 13 days ago
Esporão Reserva Branco 2023 is a complex, full-bodied white from the Alentejo region. Creamy texture, balanced acidity, and notes of fruit, citrus with hints of oak. It's made from indigenous grapes like Antão Vaz, Arinto, and Roupeiro, offering a rich palate with a long, vibrant finish, making it a classic and harmonious wine. — 2 months ago

1977 vintage. Last tasted 12.23.23 (9.6). Opened and filtered into a decanter. Tons of chunky sed trapped in the bowels of the bottle thank goodness. Tasted after 1 hour. Still top-notch and still going to outlive your born/unborn children. Great vintage port has a way of eliminating your rationalizations, excuses and contrived nonsense and cutting immediately to the bottom line. Prepare to be boarded. 8.1.26. — 2 days ago
