A shockingly vigorous palate for a wine if this age. Caramel, sherry, toasted nuts, orange peel, just so much going on and with the intensity of a wine a century younger. All this is driven along by an intense and thrilling acidity. What a treat. — 9 days ago

Oh soo good, in a rich, decadent style. Not what we normally drink, but great bottle. Part of our “farewell to NY” week. Highly recommended. — 9 months ago

Excellent! Can't beat it for $12. Apple juice aromas. Apple, pear, citrus, and yeast on the palate. Off dry/semi-sweet style. A perfect NYE eve drink while preparing for tomorrow night. 60% bical, 35% arinto, and 25% maria-gomes. — 2 years ago

Really nice, bold sparkler, with strong bubbles and vibrant acidity made from 100% Baga. Citrus peel and a touch of funk from age. Lively on its own, but would also make a nice spritz. — 2 days ago

As deep as its colour, but still fresh, it paired just fine with both fish and game… and it’s a bargain! Highly recommended. — 5 months ago

Great structure but accessible now, dark earthy fruit profile with a bit of game, leather and smoke — 5 months ago

9.4

In the beginning, it was a bit restrained yet charming and sophisticated. Ripe fruits of good quality, grapefruit, baked apple, brioche with cinnamon, ginger, chalk and mushrooms. The aftertaste is long and flavourful. Deliciously saline mouthfeel. After a few hours, it became more intense and seamless. Great structure with salty minerality, good acidity and a long linear finish.
