Like a heavier beaujolais. Acidic but also jammy. Layered yummy fruits — 4 years ago
Rui Roboredo Madeira
Beyra Vinhas Velhas Tinto 2022
Dark black fruit on the nose, lots of sour cherry, pure, with a pinch of baking spice, quite fresh & enticing.
There’s quite some power on the palate, with robust tannic frame (a bit dry, 12m French oak) and fresh acidity, nicely filled with the cherry fruit. Good purity, good length. A bit of a chewy wine but drinking nicely. Better with food. — 6 days ago
Viñas del Cámbrico
Miranda Rufete 2018
100% Rufete from small parcels in the village of Miranda del Castañar, in the heart of the Sierra de Francia, to the south of Salamanca. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in used French oak barrels for 7 months. Fresh, juicy, ripe red fruits and some herbal notes. Mineral. Reminiscent of Beaujolais. — 2 years ago

Folias de Baco
Uivo Renegado Vinas Velhas Red Blend 2018
Portuguese Field blend of Tints Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Rufete. Dark ruby color with a thin garnet rim. Aromas and flavors of black and red bramble berries, baking spices and roasted meat. Quite concentrated and bold. Touch of oak, vanilla and dill on the long and lingering finish. Nicely integrated (soft) tannins and medium-plus acidity. Nice intensity. Thank you for opening this wine, Ron B! — a year ago
