Quinta da Romaneira 2004 VP
Spicy fruit on the nose. Again very soft in the mouth but with much more robust tannins. Probably excellent after many years.

Deep red, opaque. Served slightly chilled because of the heat of the room. Warming gently in the glass releases bleuberry and lavender. Silky texture on entry, drying tannins and subdued ripe fruit. Tannins currently win the battle but the fruit is lovely. Chewy aftertaste, full of cocoa and blackcurrant. Perhaps a little closed. 88/100.
