Who knows what you’re going to get with an old white of a mostly unknown blend, but this was delicious! Took on hints of caramel and honey. Had to get a second glass. — 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 — 8 years ago

Blend of 5 different grapes from coastal Bairrada and inland Dão. Quite a bit of Brett on the nose (which I like). Meat, game, leather, mushrooms, prunes, and blackcurrants, with soft but gripping tannins and still lively acidity on the palate. — 9 years ago

Meaty, pruney, big and full for 61 dry Portuguese wine. You know, in my experience. — 10 years ago

Good value bubble. Medium-bodied, honeyed apple, herb, floral notes, and a touch of nut. — 11 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

Big wine. Flavours are dark and complex. Earth, then a hint of spice followed by dried fig style fruit flavours. All in all its earthy and smooth. The tannins are prominent. — 9 years ago

From my favorite Douro producer João Roseira, always a fantastic value. Purity of fruit, firm tannins and bright acid. All stainless from slate soils. — 10 years ago
