It's back: more library release 1994 from fan favorite, Poço do Lobo!!! Owned by Caves São João since 1970, Quinta do Poço do Lobo is about a 2 hour drive north of Lisbon, deep in the Bairrada region. In contrast to the big and youthful, international styles of Cabernet, Poço do Lobo aged thier wines in cement and stored them for decades, in their cold dark cellars. It was only until recently, in 2013, that its current gatekeepers, the Costa family, decided to release these historical gems. Thanks to them, we now have impeccably aged Cabernet Sauvignon in its rare, acoustic form: a savory treasure of dark greens and deep purples with a magnificent spice box of cigar, leather, and dusk earth. With moderate tannins and cool ripe acidity, this 1994 is a "Must have, must drink, must pop the cork now!" for those who seek personality over power.~AA
