WOW, tasted this on a big wine event today in the Netherlands. Its the second time I had the oppertunity to taste this wine en jeez this is good!
I prefer this to the CV which also is an amazing wine but it cost twice as much.
This wine is big but still fresh. Soft with nice fruit and good concentration. I have no doubt this can age very well but it tastes so good at this stage that I dont think it would survive for to long in my cellar.

Feliz,

I only had this as a cask sample in Canada and also in Portugal and liked it a lot. Good to see that it has continued to show well once bottled. I am excited to try it again and will be seeing Cristiano in six weeks, so can't wait. I appreciate the heads up!
