1982 Martinez Eira Velha
First bottle out of an owc, levels good and consistant, brittle black wax capsules. Some cellar dust on bottles, so a late release and labelled when bottled.
Decanted 7.30 pm. Nice colour and aroma. Clean decant with little sediment. After sampling the dregs I was inspired to pour a glass less than an hour later.
Good colour, with pink meniscus. Lovely dark chocolate nose, minimal fire and long finish. A good wine..
More anon..
