Wow this gets petrol-y, like Riesling. Pretty delicious, Alvarinho with a touch of age. Anselmo Mendes is the man. — 12 years ago

A good and one of the best Alvarinhos available, made by the great Vinho Verde producer Anselmo Mendes. a fresh, dry crispy version with a slight concentration and oak character. Delicious stone fruits note with white flowers and spicy bite. 😋 — 13 years ago

Parcela Única Alvarinho

Great summer wine. Not your average vinho verde. Much more complex, with a lot of character. Takes you non-stop to the beach. Very fresh, and easy to drink, with notes of citrus and fresh grass. — 9 years ago

Quinta Do Vesuvio 2008

One of those reds that manage to taste both big and light at the same time. J-M thinks of not too leathery Riojas and not too tannic Barbarescos — 10 years ago

Quinta da Fonte Souto Arinto Verdelho 2019

Delicious. Is that the least or most useful tasting note? But this is. It’s is a rich dish that someone thought fit to squeeze a lemon on to brighten that dish up. The new oak is in play and probably the biggest factor, but the acid is there—somehow gently cutting through.
Something still keeps it from being transcendent but you are definitely going to desire a second glass.
