2004 Chryseia redux

A wonderful wine beautifully blackberry/huckleberry juice with very soft tannins and just-right acid-fruit balance. Like other Portuguese wines, this one gets noticeably better with air, more complexity, floral, spicedrop and forest overtones coming out with time. Red raspberry too. Silky smooth, moderately long finish. On the second day after refrig and pumping out oxygen. Even silkier, acid is attenuated as is tannin and you get a lovely blueberry vanilla and spice. This is one great wine. Could drink this every night of my life. Note the earlier tasting note on Chryseia.
