Solid but unremarkable Douro. Deep dark brooding wine with plum flavor. Unfortunately, I did not have time to decant it and consumed it immediately upon opening. I suspect this wine would open up with an hour of air. Smooth and elegant without decanting but one- dimensional. — 2 months ago

45% Alicante Bouchet—oooh, a teinturier—plus 30% Syrah (which makes its presence known in smoky, meaty notes) and 25% Alfrocheiro. Hearty wine, textured without being, say, thick. There’s a bit of raisination on the nose countered by salinity, a little licorice and a lot of smoked meat. On the palate, it keeps on with that contrast being heady but also vibrant. There’s some silky chocolate vibes underneath it all. A delight for dinner, but you can sip it solo if you so choose. — a month ago
