Ever so slightly corked, but showing serious potential. Hoping for another sample soon.

Spectacular, and worked perfectly with teriyaki and pork chops. Mocha, pipe tobacco, black cherry, rich, and nice dusty tannins.

Big & brooding. Already evolving but in a lovely fashion.

Deep concentration and color. Nose dark fruit dominated; blackberry, black plum, huckleberry. Tobacco, cigar, smoke and coffee tones. Palate shows more tart fruit, tobacco spice, mocha, and some iron. Begins to evolve more and more with air. 60% touriga nacional, 25% touriga franca, 10% tinto roriz, 5% tinta fracisca.

Portuguese excellence. Balanced plum, smoke, and herb. Not over the top plummy like port but has a great freshness elevated by a healthy amount of acid. Lovely wine that will be an excellent age-worthy example.
