I tasted this new (2014) vintage a couple months ago, and gave it a 91. It's a definite improvement over the 2013, which was decent, but the tannins were a bit too angular IMO. The 2014 package is new, but it looks like they had some "old" label and capsule stock to run out. No worries, the wine is good and the new packaging will eventually be out in the market. This is a gem and should be consumed in copious quantities. So this rating is higher. Deal with it.

We made a friend in Nazare and we got free wine! This was our second bottle. Smells of smoked cigar. A hint of anise on the back of the tongue.

May 21st, 2015A slightly hot note, but otherwise good. Lot's of pepper, black fruit, mineral, and tannin. Good value.
