Was extra motivated to open a Baga after a recent discussion. Thought this 2011 Tonel 23 would be ready. Sort of! The fruit has developed, but the wine is still fairly fierce. Add silky texture. It's a burly and big Baga. It has the depth to absorb some tannins, but tannins still pop. Better with beef, though.
It improved with air, but when will I be happiest? Plenty of time left (10+ years?) to find out; it's old school Baga. We'll see. 12.8% alcohol.
