This is a first, CVed to taste for dry red for Evan cooking but the nose was great, lean yet floral, with leanness all the through on palate. Acidic firm texture, will be good food wine — 5 months ago

Monte da Ravasqueira

Vinha das Romãs Alentejano Syrah Blend 2021

This wine is an example that price has nothing to do with quality. Lots of fruity sweetness balanced with acidity, and with vanilla and tobacco. — 4 years ago

Suber Nero d'Avola Blend 2019

The ‘19 of this wine is quite good. Vibrant dark ruby color. The nose seems quite youthful, giving off scents of spiced, smoky minerality along with breast, yeasty notes. There also crisp mountain berry, cherry fruit. A big heck of fruit initially, but in a tight, zingy frame that has surprisingly crisp acids and a skein of tightly wound, very fine-grained tannins. The mouthfeel almost reminds me of a young Saint-Joseph from the Northern Rhone, though the flavors are different. Distinctive! — a year ago

Primitivo Quiles

Raspay Reserva Alicante Monastrell

2016. $22.5 This producer ages its wines to the maximum maturity, that is, just before it would be classified as a different variety (reserva vs gran reserva) - and you can taste it! This at 9 years had significant secondary notes - lots of stewed fruits, some leather and funk. Almost a little too sweet, drank like a port, but balanced out over time. — a year ago
