Bank Holiday Monday dinner with son & d-in-l. 2 bottles decanted together. Behaving like a St.Estèphe - ie opening out and closing up for no obvious reason over the years. These two bottles in a good place and in harmony with my August bottle. Suspect this might make 15 years from vintage.

Unconvinced. If the current characteristics are confirmed no more than a very good (89pt) wine and poor value for money - yet cannot sense a hidden core from which improvement might occur. Reserved final judgement. Fingers tightly crossed. Probably for drinking up soon.

1/10 garrafas; tive a sorte de conseguir encontrar este vinho maravilhoso a um preço razoável de 49€. Neste caso, excelente preço qualidade, ainda muito jovem, diria que em 4-5 anos estará maravilhoso, estruturado e bem feito.

From tasting in Porto. On the nose, spearmint, black cherries, black tea. On the palate, more fruity. Well balanced, could age many more years, long lasting and drying tannins.

Still too young to drink. Give it 2-3 years or more
