Dark red purple. Inviting nose and medium full, fruit-forward (for a European) palate of blueberry-blackberry compote. Bright medium acidity and medium minus tannins that mostly assert back-palate. Dark and slightly bitter finish (Touriga Nacional showing). Fine example of Portuguese non-Porto red. Ready for hearty entrées like roasted beef or pork. Drink now through 2028. — 25 days ago

9.5

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh, ripe dark fruit and notes of sweet cacao and spice, blend of Touriga Nacional 60%, Touriga Franca 30% and Sousão 10%, and at 113 grams per liter of residual sugar. On the palate pronounced flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and currants with notes of cacao and espresso. Well balanced, fine tannins, still tight, long finish ending with ripe juicy fruit, spice and earthy character. Very Nice! I would wait another 5 years! — 3 months ago

This was a ½ bottle that I paid $12.95 back in the day. This had some jammy sweet caramel notes. It was pleasant to drink with dessert but it was its time.

The cork came out with some cracks but whole. Decanted at around 6 PM in a to-go bottle and happy I did, there was a ton of sediment. Drank at about 11 PM with NYE Dinner at Anthony’s in HH.

Very good and very Portuguese. Lemon-lime and saline. Light, clear and gently acidic. Similar to Spanish Albariño (same grape) but lighter. Never had Trajadura before, but it’s part of the blend. 12% abv. Really great value white! With Momofuku noodles. — 2 months ago
