2001 Quinta do Carmo Reserva Alentejano Portugal. Dark black cherry cassis graphite dried tobacco dusty earth soft silky tannins. Hardly showing it's age. Definitely could go 20 years.

I suppose this is considered old wine (or at least in my book it is)... It’s 21 years old to be exact. And it is fascinating, the wine still looks and feels pretty young. Very exuberant with notes of leather, oak, cocoa, tobacco, smoke and baked black berries, some humidity as well. The palate is joy: smooth and velvety with dark fruit, vanilla, chocolate, some dry mushroom and perfectly balanced acidity. It is dry, bold, complex, with medium alcohol.
The remains of an abandoned Lafite project in Portugal. Do wish there was more.
