Note di degustazione
The 2003 VINHA DA PONTE sold out in an eye blink, so consider this a library wine review mostly of historical interest to those who hold them. This old vines trophy wine shows beautifully early on, round and sexy, with a soft, velvety texture. It takes awhile for the tannins to pop out, and when they do, this seems more serious, not just tasty and sensual. The mid-palate fleshes out a bit with air, as well. There’s a touch of eucalyptus on the finish as well as a certain eccentric nuance—iodine? Sour plum? As it developed, it never seemed quite as charming or as well balanced as the ’04 Vinha da Ponte, and I liked it less. Drink now-2017. Importer: Broadbent Selections, San Francisco, Ca.; (415) 931-1725.

Deep red. High-pitched, room-filling bouquet of red berries, fresh flowers and minerally earth and mocha. Wonderfully focused and taut, with tangy raspberry and pomegranate flavors framed by fine, dusty tannins. Some sexy, smoky oak announces itself with air but there's more than enough sweet, concentrated fruit here to support the wood influence. Finishes juicy and long, with a sappy, clinging quality.
