My note says: "VA - not as bad as the da Silva"

1970 Dalva: said by Dominic Symington to be the same wine as da Silva 1970. But the nose was much lighter than the dS. The taste initially promised dark fruit, but then drowned in acid, thus rather resembling the González Byass 1970.

I propose renaming this in the TN index to ‟Dalva, aka Presidential, aka da Silva”. Thoughts?

I think da Silva is the name of the producer and Dalva and Presidential are the brands under which the comany trades. The listing should perhaps be "da Silva, aka Dalva, aka Presidential".
