Fantastic wine with loads of Cabernet goodness! 25 years old and drinking beautifully right now. Tannins were smooth and mellow, fruit was still fresh, and acid was just right. What a treat!

Nose has ripe blackberry, smashed blueberry, dark chocolate, black currant jam, old tanned leather and moist soil.

Palate has warmed plum, over-ripe blackberry, black-red currant jam with medium tannins and a long finish. Amazing wine, needs another 10+ years of relaxing still. Rustic, but complex.

Never would we have guessed the age of this wine even remotely accurate! Nose and palate of Cabernet with maybe 12-15 years of age, not 25! Damn you exquisite Portuguese wines, why must you be able to hold on so long!? Fresh yet complicated, like a high school sophomore.

Paired with a great sirloin from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm). Well salted and rested before hitting a hot grill for a great sear, then over to the cool side, 15m total and done to a sexy, medium-rare.

Cork pulled, 5h rest, then +2h decant. Needs 4-5h in the decanter for subsequent bottles.

Future bottles should be 2025+, minimum

A gentle behemoth. Brooding blackberries, blueberries, gravel, black pepper with a savory finish. Well integrated tannins. Naturally, you'll want to give this some air.
