This is a conversion port - to be given to the wine drinker who thinks they do not care for port. It is, before all things, a WINE - great fruit on the nose and tongue. Cranberry, raspberry and sweet cherries. The finish is where the port character comes in - sweet, unctuous, but not too sweet and unctuous. Just a delight. — 3 years ago

Opaque ruby red. Moderately dry, acid low. 14% alcohol. Easy going tannins. Light warm baking spices. Violets and dark bitter chocolate. Dark berries. Mild black coffee. Balanced.

One of the best Brazilian wines ever! — 4 years ago
Rich cherry and black currant nose. Color is purple with a watery thin edge. In the mouth it is not as sweet as the nose is. There is a rather fresh acidity bringing balance. It will be accompanied by the veal cheeks and mash. Looking forward to that.
As the bottle was opened anyhow to use a glass in the stew we already started tasting 😉. — 4 years ago
Tannic, but bright finish. Decent for money. — a month ago
2012. We were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed this 10 year old, $10 dark red blend (maybe because our cellar is woefully under represented in dry Portuguese wines). Equal parts Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Tinto Roriz; and Castelão. The fruit was deep but not jammy, smooth tannins, and a little acidity and brett to lift up the finish. — 3 years ago

Dark red purple. Inviting nose and medium full, fruit-forward (for a European) palate of blueberry-blackberry compote. Bright medium acidity and medium minus tannins that mostly assert back-palate. Dark and slightly bitter finish (Touriga Nacional showing). Fine example of Portuguese non-Porto red. Ready for hearty entrées like roasted beef or pork. Drink now through 2028. — 15 days ago
