1985. Tomado em Campinas. Com Gustavo e Patrícia — 6 years ago
This is my kind of wine! The end taste is woody and it’s perfect with meat (specially a bbq made in the wood fire). Personal note: both, I and my fiancé loved this one, what is a rare find!! — 6 years ago
Phenomenal wine for the price. Earthy at first then flowery. The perfect wine for a special occasion. 1989 — 7 years ago
This is quite a complex wine. Give it some time to breathe and it will reward you for that. Doesn't need any more time to age, if anything drink it soon. I didn't have another to compare it to, but it may be just past it's prime. Primary flavours: Tobacco, stewed plum, dried sour cherry. Secondaries: leather, smoke, white pepper, vanilla. Tertiaries: green capsicum, spearmint. Full body, long finish, very intense, very complex, many levels of expression.
The short answer - buy it and drink it — 9 years ago
Very shy and closed when I tasted it. Feel like I didn't get a proper feel for the wine. — 9 years ago
Drinking lovely! This producer holds back their wines until they feel ready to release, this 1980 is a current release! Still showing fruit, leather and "crispness" as the Portuguese would say. — 10 years ago
Bought at Hudson Wine Merchants and drank alongside rosemary manchego, casteveltrano olives, almonds, lemony crackers, and turmeric sesame challah in the cutest Airbnb while writing something fun with Abigail — 6 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
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
Fragrant and delicately fruity, gorgeous peachy-pink. What you drink when a fascist, racist sexual predator defeats the should-have-been-first-woman-president. — 9 years ago

Drank it after about five other bottles on Fri before Secret Cinema. Remember thinking it is good, need to revisit. Heavy, grown up but still elegant. — 6 years ago
