Altas Quintas - Obsessão - 2007

I've been looking to drink a bottle of this for a while, so I took myself to the Adega yesterday and scored myself a case of this, amongst other delights.
One really has to wonder why I waited so long!

3 hour decant. 14%. Alicante Bouchet and Trincadeira.
Deepest inky purple - freshness and blue grapes in the nose - long silky legs - very much "yummy" in the mouth - full, lush, sexy, ripe - stylish without being snooty - lovely balance around firm tannins and fresh acidity - delicious wine with a huge finish.
92

I was told the 2011 is currently "sleeping" - when that's available, you can be sure a few cases of it will make their way to my cellar.
