HM Borges, Terrantez 1862
Recorked by O.P. Brothers in 2015. Three part moulded bottle. New wax capsule. Bin-soiled, damaged label. Level into neck
Tasting note: When tasted in June 2015 at first I was a bit disappointed. With air the true aromas emerged. Fine tuned, minty, dried rose petals, intriguing and complex. On the taste more direct then the nose would make you expect. Touch spirity over a medium sweet pure taste. Quite intense and lingering, nice grapefruit bitters and fine racy acidity. Wine of strength, the alcohol is somewhat present to be graded excellent. On the after taste this is more mellowed and balanced. None the less a very good Terrantez of character.
A year and a half later more uplifted nose, touch volatile, old banana leaves, quite sweet and concentrated, lots of strength and depth. On the taste at first sweet rich mouth filling with quite a punch of high natural acidity. Great complexity. An amazing wine that goes on and on. Last tasted January 2017. EV
