Interesting red blend that features the Baga (85%) grape. Blended with Touriga National (15%). Very dark color but lighter in body than I would have expected. Bright and jammy red fruit aromas and flavors with hints of prunes and dark chocolate. Solid acidity and very long finish. Moderate finish and tannins. In a very good place right now. Thanks for sharing and insisting we open this one, Ron B! — 4 years ago
part of the monthly threesome from
 cheers.co.il wine club. 
wines i didn't pick but are supposedly choosed according to my taste.
i let my son cover them in tinfoil then i open and try to guess. 
this one is a north Portuguese white blend made from three indigenous varieties :
bical,  cercial and sercialinho
12.5% abv
medium + to full body with mostly citrus variety and hinted stone fruit.  
it's power and lack of tropics made me guess it's 🇫🇷 sauvignon blanc.  but its so sharp i was thinking chablis is another option. 
it's so balanced i thought maybe some oak sorted it all out. 
i was confused but impressed. 
impressive punch all in all. 
paired well with medicore Asian take away of sushi,  pad thai and plain white rice. 
great vfm (around 100 nis) — 5 years ago
Bold nose, heavy tannins at the first, then opens up nicely. — 6 years ago
Baga normaal gesproken pas na 10jr te drinken. Deze gemaakt voor jong. Niepoort familie. Prachtige geparfumeerde geur. Doet denken aan Nebbiolo in de geur, smaak in line. — 8 months ago
I had this exactly a year ago, and it tastes much better now. Maybe it needed that extra time, or my palate is different. Still strong acidity and grappa notes, but the finish is long and feels more layered. Apricots, herbs, dried orange peel. Not so much prune as before. One left in the cellar, so I’ll try again next year. — 2 years ago
Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 3 years ago

No doubt about its excellence. Old-school aromas, from long-aging in old wood and bottle. Not as ethereal as the best Brunellos and more earthly, but just as fine. — 7 years ago

In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 3 years ago
Smooth on the nose and taste. Really strong cherry notes with chocolate hints. Awesome wine. Year 2020. strong red color — 3 years ago
Dirty, dusty red fruit - red currant, raspberry, rose hip, but also a whiff of blood orange  with a mineral core underneath, fresh & slightly funky. 
Bone dry on the palate, with persistent bubbles, juicy fruit and a slight touch of tannins. The irony, bloody character of Baga shines through. 
Unorthodox, delicious stuff. Brilliant with food.  — 4 years ago

Rich, ripe, red fruits and black fruits, creamy palate impression from I’d guess used oak, shows some age, good balance, long, lingering finish, very nice! — 8 months ago
