Brown-red colour. Dusty and complex nose of tar, old wood and red berries. Lightly oxydative notes. Medium bodied and decent
concentration. Old fashioened style. Quite mature fruit showing tar and dusty wood. Fine and quite good. But starting too dry out.
Drink up. Fine acids and some tannins in the finish.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: April-06
This was a highly traditional portuguese wine with some complexity and medium concentration of fruit. Seems to be at peak now. More
alive than previous bottle though. Dark brick-red colour. Nose shows wet earth, leather, stable and some fine floral high notes.
Traditional and some evolved complexity. Fullbodied and quite rustic wine in the mouth. Medium concentration of fruit. Mature. Hints
of stable, leather, fine florality. Shows a little more fruit with air. Medium acids and some tannins in the back. Fine, but not a
great wine. Does not seem to have the stuffing to age very much longer. Drink now.
