Although still in tank the 2012 Coche is a rock star in the making. It was sooooooo drinkable from cask, that I joked they might as well just bottle it. Kidding of course, but that's how well it showed. I like the 2011 a lot, which we had at lunch.

Yes, a stupid low price. Maybe they thought it was the Reserva?

Same here. Miguel Braga makes some really nice wines and he does some of the aging for you. I am glad some :ftlop: 'ers were able to grab some bottles from him. Now, I only wish his Port were imported here as well (S. Leonardo).

Received my shipment today of Quinta do Mourao, 2005 Rio Bom Colheita which I had six weeks ago and truly enjoyed. At the price offered by WTSO, this won't last long in my household.
