Big red here- black fruit,currant, spice , fig , the oak is a little big for me - still nice -could’ve mistaken this for a Cab wish the oak was a little less prominent 2008 vintage

Развитая ароматика - джемовые красные ягоды: клубника, черешня; гвоздика, лакрица; лёгкий мармеладный оттенок. Далее аромат раскрывается в сторону сухофруктов. Насыщенное во вкусе. Хорошая кислотность, танины немного цепляющие, но декантация поможет и выровняет его. Чувствуется исключительная гастрономичность этого вина

Dried, baked, red sour fruit. Lots of earth, leather, nice tannin grip. Interesting stuff here. #texsom

Rhone like. Dark fruit, chocolate, fig and spice in the body. Was very balanced and mid weight. Could have had another bottle.

Very tight and a little bright right off the bat. Opened a hit after decanting but never hit full stride. Interesting flavor combos, but still a little lacking, overall.

Liked this one so much I grabbed a few bottles to fill out a half case I was ordering.

Very good Dão. Strong earthy flavors with cedar, tobacco, smoke, and hints of dark fruit. Dry, medium bodied, slightly acidic with round tannings; a very rustic mouthfeel.
