2012 vintage. A big beefy cocoa grapey leather nose that intrigues and announces that this is not your average Oakville/Napa cab. Light/medium bodied. Finishes delicately and a little hot & salty. Definitely different and not for everyone since it's not MOR (middle of the road) stylistically. — 9 years ago
Fresh vinho verde. Easy drinking — 9 years ago
Drinking beautifully!!! Fruit is turning to a stewed character, secondary florals and stone balance the nose and acid runs 30+ seconds on the finish. — 9 years ago

1965 Baga from Barraida (Agueda), Casal Mor 'Caves Primavera' is still made to this day! Founded in 1944.
So, now the wine!
Color of tawny and brick, absolutely as expected at this age. The cork was whole when pulled via Durand, a little wet and very dark.
The nose was sous bois, crushed fall leaves, dried chipped beef, citrus peel, dried flowers and red fruits.
The palate was elegant and indeed tasted Portuguese, with some notes and textures that reminded me of old Barbaresco, Rioja and even Burgundy in its purity and finnesse.
Further time won't help this wine, but to taste this history, this snapshot of time, is one of the reasons I love wine so much.

Love. Had at Oran Mor in Nantucket. — 12 years ago
2012 vintage. Medium bodied. Bubble gum, orange zest, forest floor, Rainier cherry in the nose. Cherry, plummy, cedar flavors on a solid finish. Pretty. If someone was looking for a MOR (middle of the road) pinot to exemplify the current state of Oregon pinot affairs to a pinot newb, they could do a heckuva lot worse. — 9 years ago
A little bit spicy, incredibly smooth. Big flavors. Loved it! — 9 years ago

Surprisingly bright and vibrant. Great acid and mor youth than expected. Better than 82. — 10 years ago
9 out of 10!
Similar to our gold standard (Rombauer) but not as intensely oaked. At $11 for a half bottle this is a great value and we will buy mor. — 11 years ago
