Thus was a 2021 and it had the taste of grapefruit and was smooth. Great with food/fish or just drinking alone. It reminded me of Sauvignon Blanc but a little heavier. Very drinkable! — 2 years ago
Significantly better than other 2 Douro red blends but also more expensive.

This burly blend showcases how Portugal perfectly bridges the sensibilities between Old and New World. The nose may read as a bold vintage of Reserva Rioja, but the palate has more in common with the riper, denser reds from California or Washington. Baked red and black fruit with licorice, vanilla, and very fine grained tannins. Ageworthy and a perfect bottle to pair with a NY strip. $40 — 6 years ago
