Last of 2 of this one which we brought back from Portugal. Great alternative for an Italian or Bordeaux Cab lover.

Solid but unremarkable Douro. Deep dark brooding wine with plum flavor. Unfortunately, I did not have time to decant it and consumed it immediately upon opening. I suspect this wine would open up with an hour of air. Smooth and elegant without decanting but one- dimensional.

Seemed very closed. Needs a good decant or at least an aerator.
