Apr 10th, 2015Dark and concentrated. Nose of black fruit, game and baking spice. Rich but also juicy on the palate. Some edgy acetone notes that help the wine not be too jammy. Cedar and vanilla notes integrated with fruit. Medium high alcohol (14%). Moderate tannins.

May 12th, 2016Portuguese wine tasting at D'Canter. Smell: more ripe fruit than dry fruit; cherry, black plum. Big fruit, higher alcohol, fresher and younger. Don't need to age it as much higher, easy to drink on its own. Very nice w the rosemary cheese. Nice and light.
