Nice on its own. A little fruity but not too much. A bit of spice and smoke too — 10 years ago

Crisp but earthy, substantial, and really does taste like pecorino (which is a good thing) — 10 years ago

Blind, I would have said this was a modern BDX. A touch brambly and dark with lifting acidity. What a surprise. A true delight with a porcini dusted porterhouse. Yum! — 10 years ago

Another Encruzado, this one hauled back from Portugal over the summer. Lovely, nutty, a touch of oxidation, but very clean and fresh. No US importer. — 11 years ago
