2020 - vintage - Touriga Nacional-35%, Alfrocheiro-35% -Tinta Roriz-30% ( also known as Tempernillo) I have mixed feelings about this wine - very dark color - not a lot of oak aging here with these tannic varieties but the aromas are nice leafy big blackberry fruit , coca powder medium plus tannins , medium acidity ,13 %ABV (seems like I would enjoy this more with extended barrel aging) still for the price point very enjoyable. — 5 months ago
É gostosinho, tanto em temperatura ambiente quanto com os dois cubinhos de gelo ou pré-refrescado.
É azedinho do jeito que eu gosto, mas não chega a ser exagerado.
No dia seguinte não perde muito o gosto, então dá pra tomar de boas. — 2 years ago
Smell: distinct smell of soy sauce combined with multiple kinds of woods and hints of tobacco.
Taste: very nice taste of black fruits blackberry and plum. Medium sweetness with low acidity and medium tannins.
Appearance: full bodied clear liquid with a garnet deep intense color.
Conclusion: very good Portuguese wine — 2 months ago
Aroma has a touch of diacetyl but it's light enough to be pleasant. Loads of currant and with a heavy cocoa, tobacco, and slate finishing note. Drinks surprisingly light for as dark and heavy as it smells. Very fruity with a lot of acid but a tannic finish that quenches the acid. Very nice wine. — 5 months ago

Tastes very dark oak with thick tannins. I like. Very inky with dark fruits. — 3 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.

Lovely with traditional Portuguese meat dishes at Lisbon Wine House. — a year ago
pairs well with betrayal. So crisp and clean, unlike the step gabe spilled the last of the mustard on. — 2 years ago

2016 opened March 2024. Grapefruit and apricots on the nose. Lemon on the front with a crisp tannic backbone. It becomes intensely astringent on the mid palate and it has a long bitter finish. At first I didn’t care for this wine, but halfway through the first glass i loved it. This would be a refreshing summer wine — chilled of course! — a month ago
