Blackberry and hint of licorice on the nose. Earthy notes but becomes more robust as it opens up. — 5 months ago

The high score on this mostly reflects at how well composed this one still is at 13 years of age. Still plenty of primary fruit it is starting to show maturity with deeper complexity. The tannins have started to resolve into medium grain, the acidity is ample and the length is persistent and long. Not super complex but delicious and again another example of why this should be Alentejo's grape like Argentina has Malbec and NZ has Sauvignon Blanc. In other examples, I've had the grape shows good diversity in style with wines of less oak and more acidity. — a month ago

This is the Esporao Reserva. Lovely. Similar to Rioja, but the 20% Cabernet Sauvignon shifts the wine’s trajectory. Persistent on the finish. — 7 days ago
