Did you get to try it on the 2nd day, Luc?

Just a ruby color? I typically find the Smith Woodhouse VPs to exhibit extraction of color that is deeper than almost any other producer. I am not sure if it is because of the treading at Madalena or what.

BTW, how long did you decant this one?

Unfortunately no .
Haven't tasted enough producers to be able to discern the differences in colour .
Only decanted 3 hours .
