N: Roses, tar, eucalyptus, mint, pepper, Red flowers and fruits.
P:Bracing acidity, prickly, med-light body,( are we sure this isn’t Nebbiolo?)
Cherries, Very much like a cross between Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. I think I’ve said that before.
Black raspberry fruit, fine tannins, a med finish.!
As it sits in the glass, tobacco rears it’s head. The body fleshes out a bit. Acidity recedes. — 3 days ago

Chocolatey, light on the tannins but still holds its own with a meal. So lovely! — 15 days ago

Another vintage featuring the unusual Baga grape (with some Touriga National blended in). Dark color but only medium bodied. Fresh acidity brings forth a bright red and black fruit pallet. Hints of chocolate and dried herbs on the silky finish. Really nice Portuguese red. — 20 days ago

Rich black cherries and raspberries, purple and red flowers with a hint of dusty earth, terracotta, and pepper. The fruit is rich and ripe but the acidity is really bright w a savory quality like sun dried tomato and red pepper paste w hints of dried herbs on the finish. The wine is silky with dusty tannins grip just a bit on the finish. — 3 months ago

É produzido através do Método Tradicional, ou seja, o mesmo de Champagne, cuja segunda fermentação ocorre na garrafa. O vinho estagia por 12 meses em garrafas antes de ser liberado à venda, o que lhe confere características únicas. Apresenta linda coloração amarelo palha brilhante, com borbulhas finas e constantes. Exala rico aroma frutado, com destaque para maçã, damasco e pêra, que encantam. Em boca é seco, vibrante, com ótima estrutura e revela notas frutadas entrelaçadas numa generosa acidez, que lhe confere frescor e complexidade. Possui final saboroso, crocante, persistente e guloso, que convida para um próximo brinde. Harmonização: Por se tratar de uma bebida jovem e alegre é ótima para compartilhar com amigos seja num “Petit Comité” ou na praia com a turma toda. Ideal para acompanhar aperitivos como lula a dorê, carpaccio de carne, quiche de queijo, frutas secas e saladas. Sirva também com risoto de pêra e gorgonzola, peito de frango e peixe grelhados. É recomendável consumir a 6°C, preferencialmente em taças lisas e cristalinas. — 21 days ago

A smoother version of Baga, & methinks this particular bottle is sliding past it’s drinking peak. Fine grained, red fruits, violets on nose. Solidly good if not a bit meh. — 2 months ago

a red custom-built for salty smoked salmon (or bacalao!), almost genetically so, it’s a perfect fit. a saline, astringent, difficultly bitter and very polarizing sipper becomes plush, aromatic, fruit driven and prolifically nuanced with the pairing....blood iron, raspberry, about-to-be ripe strawberry, bush-herbs, tart cranberry, and back to waves of salt and iodine on the finish. as if the ocean rolled over the vines and left a dusting of salt and dried blood, and the color expresses it beautifully - wtf! — 17 days ago

This is cool stuff. Very mineral as the name says, pure, medium bodied, balanced, very very elegant. Requires time in the cellar. Top notch portuguese. — 3 months ago
