Just ordered a case of Familia Deicas 'Licor De Tannat' 2020. After tasting it for the first time last Sunday at a restaurant.

Completely blown away by this stuff, always loved Tannat, but had no idea they produced a port style wine. 

Super complex, the spine of a fabulous port (figs, chocolate, cassis, plums etc), but with some really unusual savoury aspects like linseed oil, herbals, exotic woods. 

Anyone else ever tried this stuff?

Some champagne with a great charcuterie board and then an outstanding 1998 Chateau de Beaucastle. Still complex but subtle with the age.

How was the Terra Di Lavoro?  I have a few different vintages, but never tried one.

I've only had the 07 and the 11. A bright style that's very enjoyable, but needing just a bit more complexity to bump them into the big leagues in my book.

I was able to find '13 & '14 in the cellar.

This stuff is simply delicious.
