Fresh & juicy with crunchy black fruit and a doll, stony undercurrent. Plus just a hint of spice - allspice, cloves, anise, cinnamon. Lively & engaging.
Mid weight in the palate with bright juicy acidity, pure black fruit and slightly rustic yet v. juicy tannins. Fresh, juicy, very food friendly. Perfect match with steak frites! — 3 years ago

Exactly what you want from a red wine. Fruit, a little earth, a little flesh, comforting tannins. — 7 years ago

A very good Portuguese red with some nice fruit. Little bit tannic. I think some grilled beef would pair with it nicely. — 8 years ago

A lovely aged white "entry level supposed to be but no really" of great style, biodynamic production and almost last vintage of winemaker António Carvalho, who past away in 2009 - a pleasant wine that you will not find easily, only in some very specialised wine shops :) — 11 years ago

Very cool and unique wine, nice to try it again. Pears, lemons, oyster shell, crushed rocks on the nose. Beautiful salinity on the palate. A little short and one dimensional but great@expression of terroir. reminds me of a Chablis. — 4 years ago

Volcanic Verdelho do Pico (different from the Portuguese mainland Verdelho, also known as Godello in Spain) from vineyards located on 3 different islands - Pico, Graciosa and S. Miguel- in the Azores archipelago. Virtually at sea level and unusually close to the Ocean, vines grow on very poor volcanic basalt soils, surrounded by traditional stone-walled “currais” to protect them from the extreme Atlantic winds. Salty and mineral. Thirst-quenching acidity. Passion fruit. 🌋 🌋 — 7 years ago

Mafarrico (bad boy) Tinto, Douro DOC. Blackberry, evergreen, bay laurel, dried herbs on the nose, finely balanced acid-tannin palate, me-dusty, the hubby-silky mouthfeel. Brambly palate with more evergreen. Medium acidity and body, flavors linger as it rides off into a western sunset. Álvero Martinho Lopes is a terroir and dirt guy who works with Dirk Nieport. I’m surprised at the lower scores. This is what a Douro field blend is, no less than 8 different 🍇 varieties. — 7 years ago

Blend of multiple indigenous varieties (Donzelinho, T. Francisca, Alvarelhão, Sousão, etc.) from old vines in Vila Nova de Foz Côa in Douro Superior (Upper Douro), not far from the Spanish-Portuguese border (La Raia, an area known for its smuggling past. Hence the name). Aged in used oak barrels for 15 months. Intense nose with aromas of dark fruit, prunes, chocolate and some spices. Powerful, full-bodied. Despite the 15% alcohol it feels quite fresh. Elegant. Polished tannins. Great at almost 10 years — 4 years ago

2018 vintage. White Alentejo blend (Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha, Antao Vaz, Tamarez, Alicante Branco and Arinto) by winemakers António Maçanita and Sandra Sarria. Old vines, whole bunch fermentation, no malolactic. Bright yellow. Spicy and floral with power and some complexity. Authentic and very good value. — 6 years ago
