Had this at Capitale Grill, and it showed better then than now. Still enjoyable, but it chased the Morgado - dumb on my part. Above cellar temp, its showing a little more personality. At the right price, it’s a buy to try.

Deep ruby red with a purplish hue. Lots of baking spices on the nose with dark cherries, black currants and cassis. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate plus bodied. Dark berried attack, but dissapointly thins out mid palate quite a bit and then lingers for a slightly bitter long finish. Drink from 2017 till 2025. (Strong 89+)
