Excellent & smooth — 5 years ago
A rich, full-bodied wine. It welcomes you with the deepest, darkest purple you have ever seen, almost black in color. Then, the aroma invistes you with dark blackberry, mulberry and a violet scent to a dense, firm mouthful of fruit along with fine tannins. It almost reminds you of a young Bordeaux. But then, no, as it’s spicy black pepper tingle and more violets and exotic notes come out. What would absolutely stun you is to find out was there is no oak used on this wine. The tannins are silky with time, but, make no mistake, this is a BIG wine. Often, that is achieved with oak. But here, it is just a reflection of the grapes and the touch nature of Alentejo! Unbelievable! — 7 years ago

The marbel fermentation gives it an epic spicy side in perfect harmony with a very soft aging in new oak. Awesome! — 8 years ago
Crisp, clean red fruits, particularly strawberry. Rosé is excellent with late Fall dishes, but I might save my second bottle for next summer. — 5 years ago
