Can't really explain why I hadn't tried this before. I guess too many people recommended it and I just like making my own discoveries. This is my "tomorrow I am going to Berlin for some indie and techno" wine. Really nice with some manchego cheese.
Tried both year 2000 and 2001, the older one was much better and didn't taste as much alcohol. Interesting dry figs and raisins taste. Very good with dark chocolate. I am not a big fan of porto though.
This might be better than what I perceived, but I like the other wines so much better so I got lost in the bunch. I think the problem was that the smell was very weak.
