"This wine's dark garnet color with minimal bricking suggests a relatively youthful wine and this certainly could age longer, although it's also delicious now. Wonderfully complex floral and herbal scents easily move into deep, rich flavors of chocolate and cherries, sprinkled with a healthy dose of Douro minerality and spice. Drink or hold." Wine Enthusiast, 2/1/2007
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Notes: 8 base neck or better, 1 top shoulder, 1 high shoulder, shipper- and vintage-branded capsules, lightly corroded capsules, 1 recessed cork, 2 wine stained labels, 1 sign slight of past seepage.
