Ainda Palhete Serra do Estrela Baga Mencía 2022

A good solid effort put on full Dao display, I say! Here's a decent field blend of 40 + varieties whites & reds! A beauty of an outcome that overdelivers in every aspect! — 11 days ago

Quinta da Falorca Garrafeira Dão Red Blend 2009

the nose is much more reserved than the ‘07 yet alludes to the same ~ palate is much broader, fuller and deeper yet still has a striking mid-palate core of fruit that melds back into the mocha oak tannins — 8 years ago

Dão Red Blend 2013

Importer notes are more descriptive/educational than my own: "A blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Baga from the granite soils of Quinta do Corujão. The Touriga Nacional is foot trodden in lagar, while the Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Baga are fermented in stainless steel tank at low temperatures with little extraction. Aged for 12 months 30 percent new and 70 percent used French oak barrels."

Deep purple/violet color, nose of cassis/ripe plum and wild flowers. On the palate, it is fresh with soft tannins and practically no acidity, with its very velvety texture.

Absolutely stunning pairing with our local, grass fed Angus burgers, nestled into the best Sourdough buns your ever dug your teeth into. (Our local baker from France is a crazy Sourdough guy, he does everything with it; Pizza crusts are other-worldly!)

Excellent material and no compromises. Very ripe but great acidity, color, tannin and minerals. Has the wildness and energy that most commercial wines do not have. Tastes like small-production under 50000 bottles. — 8 years ago

Quinta do Covão

Reserva Dão Touriga Nacional 2016

After a few hours decant, very nice—full bodied without too much tannin; deep dark fruit, bit of smoke, but not too hot despite 14.5% alcohol—glad I have 4-5 more in the cellar — 5 years ago

Quinta Do Mondego

Dão Red Blend

Dark plum and berry flavors, with a little cherry. Dusty, with pretty strong acidity, and some heat. — 7 years ago

Quinta do Vale

Dão Red Blend

At the price I consider this to be a good bye. Again not a fine wine but a very strong performing house wine. A little on the peppery side and somewhat thinner than California wines that many people are used to. Other than that a pleasant nose and a pleasant finish. No major complaints. — 7 years ago
