 <\/p>\n

I haven’t had a Portuguese wine in a long time, so I spied this on the cellar shelf and decided maybe it was time to change that. \"Duorum<\/p>\n

Upon Opening …<\/strong> For a 13-year-old wine, the cork comes out clean and easy. It’s in great shape. Colour of the wine is good too. Impressive.<\/p>\n

AROMAS<\/strong> … Earthy with dark dried fruit, and a little bit of smokiness.<\/p>\n

TASTE<\/strong> … Similar to the nose … Ready to drink … Smoky, oaky, earthy. Silky across the tongue with good acidity. It’s dropping off after the first hour but it’s such a delicate wine when opened thatbl it drinks well right out of the bottle.<\/p>\n

Open 1 hr … <\/strong>I think the clock on this wine started ticking the moment the cork was popped. Within an hour there was oak notes layering themselves in on the dried fruit; and they kept getting stronger and stronger. Tertiary was taking. Each sip started to be less and less exciting and enticing.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line …<\/strong> This is a nice wine for about the first hour, after that it starts to fall apart. At the 2-hour mark. I was less interested in it, and moved on to water. Could I have continued to drink it? Sure. But it had lost it’s enjoyability and appeal.<\/p>\n
