Medium Ruby with a pronounced bouquet of crushed strawberry and raspberry, black cherry, garrigue, leather, violet, thyme and lavender. Well balanced acidity and tannin even at this early stage and an exceptional finish. A wonderful wine with years ahead but already great. 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% “sundry others.” 14.5% abv — 3 years ago

I liked that it was full of flavor but also fruity with just a hint of sweetness. Good balance. — 5 years ago

OK, so first off I rate wines in the context of their genre, not scoring gamay on the same scale as Cabernet. (And by the way, auto-correct just tried to change gamay to Hamas). This is one of the best roses I've ever had, with jolts of sundry red fruit midpalate and at the very end. Vibrant, vivid and f'ing delicious. — 8 years ago

Very robust Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo for you Spaniards) produces a berry flavored wine with spice and mild oak. Mixed with a little Syrah and you’ve got yourself a well-rounded fruit forward wine that is sure to please all and sundry. Having previously had mostly wines from Douro, this Lisboa blend will keep me exploring this region as well. — 7 years ago

Been open for a day, so the structure from that tannic vintage has softened. Bing cherry, sous bois, and the scent of a SCM forest on a warm day; bay laurel, redwood, various and sundry coniferous aromas. — 10 years ago
