Aging nicely, the fruit has come out of this more than when I first tasted this wines 2-3 times in Portugal and out of my stash. Easily has another 10 years to go and has not yet turned tertiary. Long, cool red and blue fruited finish with violet and lavender like florals. Impressive! Potential is for sure 93-96pts depending on how this matures which is new territory for these wines and this style from the Douro. But all signs so far are very positive.
