Dark purplish ruby red. Powerful and dark nose on day one, with a mix of spices and sweet spices such as anise and vanilla. Bramble berries on the nose as well. Day two the nose softened quite a bit but gained a perfumey elegance to it. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Tons of layers on the palate with a dark blue and black berry attack, herbs too and a nice spiciness. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2027.

Fresh nose with the richness of a big wine. Turns out to be fresher with medium body, medium acid and rich texture. Lees stirring taken a little to far. Would love some more brightness.

Burgundy plum, dark cherry. Great structure and acidity. Enjoyable now and can age for many more years.

Fit for a King! A majestic bouquet of noir cherries, sweet plum, cinnamon, anise and French lavender. Velvety tannins along with a medium complexity and a smooth texture allures a sinful bite at the end. The Portuguese outdid themselves on this one!!!
