Like previous comment said, put it in decanter for minimum one hour. Amazing! — 12 years ago
#bdx10 Showing the intensity and opulence this vintage has in spades. Showing the smoky charcoal the Graves is known for, this is tight but with tome opens up quite nicely. Nicely balanced, give it an hour minimum to decant. — 13 years ago
Very elegant! Need to be decanted minimum 1 hour before. — 12 years ago
Preparing to turn 40. That, at least, is the excuse. Usual DP style. Very dry with long finish. Somewhat tight though. Probably needs 3-5 years minimum and score could go up. Paired perfectly with smoked oysters. — 11 years ago
2011 FIGGINS Estate Red -- really started to open up aromatically. Give an hour minimum decant. Great old world version of Walla Walla. — 12 years ago
Forgot to take a picture of the bottle after tasting. One of the best vintages in recent history for the Douro. This wine has tremendous power. This should age beautifully for decades. Not ready yet though. Wouldn't pull the cork on this for 20 years minimum. — 12 years ago
