Doda (Dirk Niepoort & Alvaro de Castro)
Doda Red Blend 2012
Nice nose. Bordeaux-esque with a hint of Sarah. Nice dark fruits. 2012 nicely aged so tannins softened. A relatively light wine with limited depth. Almost more pleasure on the nose. Quite versatile. Very comfortable.
Quinta do Mouro
Estremoz Alentejo Red Blend 2012
Nice blend of 4 grapes gives it some complexity. 2012 has enough age to soften the tannins. More bordeaux-like; not too fruity. Good fruit and earth balance. Not very long, but consistent. — 6 days ago

Good deep ruby color & distinct legs. Lovely rich nose of subdued fruit and ? Maybe cedar?. Full flavor a bit peppery with moderate tannins, blackberry, tobacco. Maintains character through moderately long linger. Very pleasant, esp good pair with meats.

António Macanita Arinto Dos Açores 2013
Bright and light. Very minerally up front. Nice citric flavors later but no lasting power. A nice summer quaffer. Azores wine. But, what an adventure! — 7 days ago
