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! — 4 years ago

I can’t believe how good this wine is! It’s really my type of wine, strong body and a bit of oak taste. Love it! I had reserve 2015 — 7 years ago

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 — 8 years ago

indigenous 3 🍇 varieties Portuguese blend.
half of grapes met oak.

fruity (mostly citrus variety including lime, grapefruit and some oranges) and generous, yet elegant and restrained. salty.

it presents a well made story, but it's not my fave genre.

a few more years will improve it, I'm certain. — 5 years ago

Nose has raspberry jam in a charred barrel, black currant juice, charred red pepper, wet leather, fresh clay pottery and moist, earthy soil.

Palate has ripe black currant, ripe blackberry, huckleberry and dried blackberry, with a medium tannic grip remaining. Likely this bottle could easily see a 15th or 20th b-day under proper storage conditions.

Alas our final bottle, it's been a stellar performer at btwn $15-17 in retail settings, about 6-8 years ago, have not seen this bottling in a while. We used to have some 2003, but that's long gone also.
