5400354002PortugalThe wine is rich and dense. It has plenty of black fruits although it does suffer from some bitter extraction notes.

5402254021USJust out, this is quite young and tart, tightly wound with green apple and green pear fruit. It's the sort of wine that may well improve considerably with an extra year in bottle.

5402354022USFresh fruit flavors of red apple and raspberry carry the wine into a light, fairly brief finish.
