‘10 in ‘21. Same wine a few years later and it is aging very well. Mineral, leather, iron. Char- dried cherry. Black plum. Very dry tannins. Decant.

Lunch near Porto. Very well balanced. Great with the piles and piles of animal parts we ate.

Average smell from this. Hardly one to start with when a wine virgin. Give me a beer anyway. I've heard the 2008 is a far better year. The brother in law is waxing lyrical about this and likely to move on to bottle two.

Very nice Portugal red cuvée. Developed nose, deep berry smell, medium dryness, blackberry, cherry, earthy flavor.
