I took a big risk hanging on to it for another 3 years. It was the one bottle of wine in my entire cellar that seemed to be constantly leaking, wet, sticky, and otherwise giving the impression that it was going foul. In fact the capsule and cork were soaked when i finally opened it tonight. Fortunately (I guess), the wine remains similar to 3 years ago, however, and seems to have endured (although I don't think time did it any favors). This remains pretty weird and in the style of many natural wines out there. Lean, astringent, funky, sharply flavored, and a just a bit challenging. Roasted tomatoes, rhubarb, and something oddly chemical that may be close to embalming fluid. There is no hint that this was actually made from tannat, nor could I tell where this was from. So not my cup of tea, but interesting and I admire the artistry, even if I am too pedestrian to actually understand it.

2017 Quinta da Romaneira Syrah Vinho Regional Duriense

My first go at this. A rather "mid-Atlantic" syrah with brambly berried fruit that is rather forward like something from the Central Coast, yet also a Northern Rhone-y meatiness with mounds of black pepper and a certain fineness. Overall, I really dig this. More of cold weather wine which is out of place tonight but I would like to revisit this winter with hanger steak. For the price, a steal...
