1988 D’Oliveira Terrantez (2013 Bottling)

Really digging this...
Serious. Stuff.

A rich and smokey nose; honey, orange, vanilla, a trace of wintergreen.

The palate is medium/full in body; firm, but round; some zesty refreshing acidity that crashes like a waterfall onto the mid-palate and lingers in the gums, balancing the long, nutty, citrus, and enjoyable bitter finish.

Me like this Terrantez!

For $90, this is a must buy for vintage Terrantez.

Barry,

Yeap, that is what I've been saying all along!
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Looks like something great to have a few of from a lean birth year in the world of wine.
