Dark with clear green edge. Nose of hazelnuts, toffee, light cloves, a little banana and some burnt sugar; with time in glass coffee and a little orange peel appear. Moderate to deep intense flavors of mixed nuts and burnt sugar, still with coffee and citrus mixed in. Extremely long finish, with terrific balancing acidity. 19+/20. Not a wine to leave in the glass or spit out. I love boal, and this ranks just behind the 1860 Blandy/MWA and 1827 Quinta do Serrado wines in my personal boal hierarchy. I loved it before, and would love the chance to love it again, and again, and .... (10/09)
