Purchased on closeout recently for $35.
14% ABV
Appearance: Inky black, dark and brooding.
Nose: Dark berry fruits, fresh forest-y notes, a bit of game.
Palate: Enters with with blackberry and currant, braced with stern tannin, a middle full of earthy berries and a hint of violet, and a close of sour Cherry, more fresh forest branch, and stern, mineral driven tannin.
Thoughts: This feels like a well made wine, but one that is brutally young. Drinking this over the last three days, it has softened only moderately. I can see why this hit closeout, most people probably never gave it a second shot. Food helps some.
I’ll be grabbing another bottle or two though, to try in a decade or so.

Re: TN: Concieto 2015 Douro Red Wine
Don't see this wine very often around my parts. Sounds like a good old school Douro wine that needs time in the cellar. Hopefully you can put some aside for later.
