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

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.

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

13 year old blend from the Beira Atlantico region. Just beautiful. Smooth and soft, but still very aromatic. — 7 years ago

9.1

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

Random Monday night but @Levon Kololyan and I just took down this whole bottle! Yummmmm. Luscious and well balanced, great with our steak dinner but not overpowering on its own. The 2011 is drinking perfectly — 7 years ago

Ликёрный аромат медовых пряников, топленного шоколада, сиропа из черешни. Насыщенно. Полное тело, во вкусе шоколад, кофе, кислая вишня, пыль, карамелизованное яблоко. Очень интенсивно, очень кислотно. Непростое, интересное "большое" вино. 16,5/20 — 9 years ago

Interesting wine from the late-ripening Baga grape. Not as tannic and austere as I thought but quite elegant, with high acids, small red berries, and some saltiness. Excellent. — 5 years ago

9.2

Very unique wine. Similar characteristics to Nebbiolo. Beautiful color from the age reflecting a very earthy earthy full-bodied wine. The initial nose also has tar, wet soil and cassis. Needs half a day (at least) to open up. The flavor has cherry, raspberry, tobacco and beef-like flavor. Great smoky finish. Very different for me — 7 years ago

Elegant Baga is a great value. Compares with a Bordeaux as a wine to have with steak. Powerful up front, followed by an acidic finish. Luis Pato's winemaking is first-rate. — 8 years ago

Blend of 5 different grapes from coastal Bairrada and inland Dão. Quite a bit of Brett on the nose (which I like). Meat, game, leather, mushrooms, prunes, and blackcurrants, with soft but gripping tannins and still lively acidity on the palate. — 10 years ago
