Smells kind of like... Wax, I suppose and mild oak.
Tastes big. Dark berries, nice round tanins with a mild finish. — 9 years ago
Two Torbreck Shiraz very close together. Gotta say there's a lot to like here. Enjoyed the Struie more than the higher-priced Descendant. Run Rig in the fall, perhaps against the Astralis and Grange if someone can be found to cook up a proper pairing. — 11 years ago
Savoureux a souhait et sec en bouche ! Réchauffe bien en descendant, excellent avec notre petit filet mignon sauce au poivre :) — 12 years ago

Amazing new winery — 9 years ago
Manoella Douro - Complex, dense and power combined - a wine very fine an elegant, a good introduction to the Wine & Soul wines, a real great value for money - the youngest descendant of the line of wines designed by Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio, the creators of the famous Pintas. This property belongs to Serôdio Borges family for over 200 years and the couple had the privilege to receive this inheritance in 2008 and to give effect to the long family tradition — 11 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
The estate is now owned by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, a descendant of the Comte Lafond. Vines are aged from 25 to 35 years. The soil is a combination of clay, limestone and silica. Aromas of floral scents, delicate fruit notes and mineral tones. On the palate the wine is elegant with white flesh fruit and citrus flavors with tangy wet stone. Well balanced with acidity this wine finishes long with chalky notes. Very nice, consistent quality. — 7 years ago
