First bottle from an unopened case. 2 hour decant. Wonderful nose. Black cherry and cranberry palate. This strikes me as an excellent hot year Duoro, and more of fruit driven wine than a highly structured wine. Good acidity, and a bit monolithic. But what is there is excellent. No reason to wait! I'll be drinking these up sooner than later. 94 points.
