Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum with toasty oak and slight pepper spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice, nice value. Drink now no further aging benefit! — 2 years ago

Physically Distanced 🚧 but Socially Close 🤗 dinner, our first in +8mo. Following the reasonable NY State dining regulations, seated and masked. While a new experience, it was well worth it to see our core group again. — 5 years ago

Not a port but a dry table wine. Quite deep garnet , medium thin garnet rim, slightly hazy appearance. Quite discreet at first , with some sweet plum , blackberry jam and spiced dark cherry notes., slightly herbal earthy touches , black tea after a while. On the palate this shows development with earthy dark cherry notes, blackberry notes , touch of liquorice and violets . Quite pinched , relatively high acidity and slightly gritty tannins , touch of alcohol noticable . Ok medium length with spiced dark cherry , cacau hints . This is at peak now , loosing a bit of freshness perhaps , though it will probably keep ok over the next few years I don’t see it improving . This is disappointing given the price . — 4 months ago

This 2015 red blend is really good. It's balanced and seems to go with everything. There's something about these Portugeuese wines. — 5 years ago

I think that wine is categorized wrong. This rose is a blend of Alvarinho and Sousao so I’m not understanding the vinho verde reference. Maybe the location..? Anyway, this wine was a surprise and amazing. Beautiful dusty rose color. Lots of flavor- grilled watermelon, pepper, savory herbs, underripe strawberries, beeswax and it goes on and on... glycerin-y in the mouth and a longish finish. — 5 years ago
