9.4

For starters, this is an extraordinary bottle. Golden yellow in color. Floral aroma with white pepper and chalk dust. Complex but balanced palate. Apples, white pepper, stone, flint. With warming a more tropical spectrum emerges. Fruit balanced by ++acid and mineral skeleton. Overall, a terrific job.
Paired with a duck ragu in the Venetian style accented by cinnamon. Missed @Andrew Schirmer and @Nancy Dwight . — a year ago

It's a cellar piece. Skeleton is there for sure. Far better on day two. Value nebs. — 4 years ago

Nose is wood, leather and hint of stone fruit. Taste is pepper, leather and oak. Not picking up much fruit maybe black cherries. Finish is dry oak. This one has been in the wine fridge for probably 4 years. — 2 years ago

Very dark in color. Nose mostly of mineral with little fruit. Red fruit on the palate-strawberry, raspberry and cherry. The acid mineral skeleton sets off the fruit. A well defined presentation. ABV 12.5%. Luis Seabra makes some of the most interesting wines coming from the Iberian Peninsula. 4* — 3 years ago

9.1

Old vines. Medium yellow with a greenish tint. Nose of white fruit, melon and a sea breeze. Palate adds a floral note. Acid skeleton really sets off the fruit. Long finish. Not at all what I expected given its origin. — 2 years ago

9.2

2018 vintage. Big cherry pie/cherry pop-tart nose plus a pinch of raspberry and mint. Light-medium/medium body. Baking chocolate, cocoa powder, kirsch liqueur, rhubarb, allspice, dust and vanilla bean. Oak slightly showy in the frontal palate but then dissipates in a shimmering dissolve. Tannins, while present, are not exactly what I’d call firm. Verry drinkable now and for the next dozen years or so. Past that? Could be drinking the skeleton. — 3 years ago
