Day 2... Smokey, sagebrush, herbal note are lifted and upfront. Plum, tobacco, and blackcherry show with time in the glass. Dark fruit dominates on the palate with a sweet cream, bramble berry midpalate. Spice and clove notes too. Finish is dry, shows a little heat, and persists with moderate tannins. This has integrated some, but could spend 5+ more years in the bottle easy. Drink now with a decant.

Jan 8th, 2017Full-bodied & well-structured. Lots of flavors to experience. Part of the fun of my openness to any and all types of wine is tasting new varietals from countries like Portugal. give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
