Thick, chewy, full bodied Douro, heavy taste of black cherry and slightly smoky. — 16 days ago
Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; no formal notes due to the setting. It has been a few years since I last enjoyed the 2015 and I am happy to report that it is now very much open for business. The fruit is on full display and the oak is much better integrated. The structure is still quite firm but I found everything to be in better balance than it was upon release. This is squarely and its drinking window and should remain that way through the remainder of this decade and likely, well beyond. Drink now through 2030+ — 2 months ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, spice and toasty notes, aged for 14 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with licorice, cacao and spicy oak notes. Balanced acidity, fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. — 4 days ago

C'est du haut niveau sur du fruit mur. La mûre, les notes viandées, le sous bois, une bouche tapissante, une longueur folle.
Un tout petit excès d'alcool à peine domageable. — a month ago
Nice body with light finish — 17 days ago

Was surprised by the vivacity and overall performance of this wine at this age. Well integrated and matured, soft and shining.
Magnificent. — 16 hours ago
