Lovely with traditional Portuguese meat dishes at Lisbon Wine House. — 2 years ago
pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 3 years ago
Dark, sweet (molasses?) with an acidic/citrusy finish. The flavor changed significantly the longer it was open. — 4 months ago

One of the absolute best Monastrell I’ve had from Spain. I specifically told the wine store guy I didn’t line most of these from Spain because they are too fruit driven & flabby. He said this was old school and very reminiscent of southern France. He was spot on: this had that feral quality, meaty, iron, black olives, smoky, just transported me back to the affordable days of Minervois & Bandol. Balanced beautiful generous - kept opening more & more over a couple of hours. A real treat! — a year ago
Good! Total wines Portugal wine. Would get again. Deep fruit but not too dark. Balanced. — 6 months ago
While the nose is of prototypical tawny port with raisin, caramel, fig, cocoa, and sandalwood, the palate has a fruitier profile with subtle cherry flavor. Full and rich but not cloying - it’s actually on the drier end of the taste spectrum for a tawny.

Definitely a 9. Apricots and caramel on the nose. Buttery mouthfeel. Faint taste of green apples on the front. Crisp notes on the mid palate with a refreshing acidic finish. — 2 months ago
