Took a while to open up, great on the nose and very complex on the palate, but still tannic. Hold another 5 years at least.

This is wine as absolutely nothing to complain about. It's a mainstream red wine delicious in every way. However, I have to admit I expected more considering the hype. The point is, this doesn't surprised me, like some great Bordeauxs or Tuscans have done, for example. Drink now or hold.

This was so good... bought at the Chateau on 2015 and aged in my cellar. Well balanced, complex, soft tannins. I expected it to be still on the younger side, but it's not, probably at it's peak.

Very surprised about it, since I was afraid it could be way too old, but it was not. It's old wine, no doubt, but for those who like it, it's quite enjoyable and was overall better than the 2017 Esporão Reserva on the same night.

I had a bottle on 2016 and the one I had now isn't any better, so I recommend to drink soon since it appears that it will start to lose the fruit quickly from now on.
