Strong dark fruit, with earth and wood. Approachable tannins. An interesting wine with some complexity, but a bit too earthy for me, which is a matter of personal taste.

Aroma has a touch of diacetyl but it's light enough to be pleasant. Loads of currant and with a heavy cocoa, tobacco, and slate finishing note. Drinks surprisingly light for as dark and heavy as it smells. Very fruity with a lot of acid but a tannic finish that quenches the acid. Very nice wine.

2020 Vintage red reserve wine. Tried for our trip to Portugal. Notes of blackberry and plum and has a long finish like a cab. Since we’re not really red wine drinkers, it takes some getting used to. Served with pasta and meat sauce.

Strong alcohol at first then smoothes over the palate. Long finish for age. Starts as an 88 but transforms into an elegant and robust 92 with decanting. Could reach 94 with agreeing in my opinion. Great value overall.
