I'm experimenting with Portugese wines. This one was one of 2 highly recommend wines at Total Wine. (The less expensive one. Not the $80 bottle.) As suggested, we let it air out for about an hour, aerated it (decanter was dirty), and did small pours for max swirlage. Soft and mellow with blueberry at the front and some woodiness at the end.

Very dark rubi robe, nose of asphalt, cedar wood and blackcurrant. Very elegant and polished tannins with lots of dark fruits. Top notch stuff. Give it another couple of years or decant prior to drink.

Aug 6th, 2023After the grand vin we tasted the young vines on the second wine. Great bottle. This is a tell tale Douro dry red that is very drinkable as we speak but can hold easily 10 years. Medium body, velvety tannins and medium length, this is a delight and the price is really OK. Highly recommended !

Deep violet color red from Douro region. Fantastic wild forest berries aromas with a dry finish that pairs with red meats, strong cheeses and game.

Nicely fruit forward. Opens well with decanting after an hour or so. Good, easy drinking bargain.

It is a really dark purple color. Seemed to taste more flavor with each sip
