Last of the Portuguese wines tasted with Dan and Filipa at there home.
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.

Those who love Cali cabs need to try these amazing Portuguese wines.
Big dark fruits,earth, and smoke .
No rush to drink as the tannins as still showing and this beauty will last another 5 to 10 yrs easily
