Puligny? Meursault? A ton of bang for the buck. 100% Alvarinho from Dao (past vintages seem to be from Minho) Ages in parts, 1000L used and 1000L new oak. — 10 months ago

Great stuff and reasonably priced, classical in style, we loved it. — 2 years ago

Tops among the many things I enjoy about this are the minerality, purity in delineation, rich mouthfeel, and relatively good value for an old-vine, terroir-driven wine developed with this level of care. — 2 years ago

Tasted with Pascaline Lepeltier, who was as enthusiastic as the rest of us. Lots of sensory impressions in balance. Luis Seabra recommended we try this wine when we met him in Porto. — 6 months ago

This wine deserves a lot more credit than I’ve afforded it in the past. Seabra is doing great things, and this is a wholly original Douro offering. Burgundian? — 10 months ago

9.0

Mostly Rabigato. Named “Xisto” after the schist soils of the Cima Corgo. Sun drenched orchard fruits. Honeysuckle. Broad minerality. Think I would guess Chenin in a blind. Maybe Aligote? — a year ago

Perhaps the best Douro table wine we’ve tried, even if it was probably still too young and will be more enjoyable with more bottle aging. — 2 years ago
