Douro Animus. Not great but not bad.

Re: What Portuguese wines have you opened this week
Excellent. Needed a decant and 1 hour to show its stuff. Got a few more to sit on.
Hard to find in the US, got mine at auction.

Eric, how was this? I have a 1991 that I'm bringing to a tasting next month. What's the flavor profile? Are these good or meh?Eric Menchen wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 9:28 am 1996 Casa Manoel Boullosa Carcavelos Quinta dos Pesos (bottled February 2018)

2019 Passarella pedra do gato Dao. A very nice wine that improved quite a bit more by decanting. 2 days later there was still a glass in the bottle and it was still very enjoyable.

Re: What Portuguese wines have you opened this week
Sorry for the late reply. I hope yours was good. Mine was. I appreciate them more for the rarity than the flavor, but they are nice, a more generic sweet white profile. I don't remember the details now, but wouldn't be surprised by apricot or honey ... I don't recall highly developed sugar flavors.Mike J. W. wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 10:36 amEric, how was this?
