Tasted with Pascaline Lepeltier, who was as enthusiastic as the rest of us. Lots of sensory impressions in balance. Luis Seabra recommended we try this wine when we met him in Porto. — 14 days ago

9.1

Blend of Bical (80%) and Arinto (20%). Aromas of fresh pears, white flowers and thyme. The palate fills with flavors of unripe peach, apricot, lemon and minerals. Nice creamy (neutral oak?) texture with a long and lingering nutty finish. Bright and luxurious. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 2 months ago

I’m not too fond of the blandness in a lot of Portuguese reds, but this style plays to its strong suits: unabashed joy in a chilled red, with a fine grained berry texture & an inky dark cherry fruit palate. Nothing complicated but something a bit more elegant & long. — a month ago

9.0

A traditional Portuguese (Dao) red blend made from nine different local varieties. Aromas of red and black berries, leather and earth. Red and black fruit also on the palate with additional notes of tobacco and wet gravel. Medium-plus body and finish with a hint of smoky oak. Nicely balanced. Thanks for bringing this one, Aaron B! — 2 months ago
