Last bottle of six purchased December 2011.
Decanted 4 hrs. Deep dark red colour with a light rim. Nice, appealing aroma of berries and oak. Full body. Berries are clearly there. Well-structured Douro red with a nice acidity/sweetness-balance. Scores for the other 5 bottles have been 92 - 94 pts, so this last bottle had the lowest. Doubt whether this C.V. - 2009 will develop further. 91 pts.
