Vinhos Barbeito

Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal

Quinta da Bacalhôa Península de Setúbal Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and a good food wine too.

A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$45.

Granito Cru Vinho Verde Monção Alvarinho 2023

Pithy, textured, phenolic, and structured. Deep color in the glass. More ballsy than your typical Alvarinho. Seabra is more concerned with terroir than grapes, so the wines are labeled based on soil type. — 7 hours ago

Reserva Especial Douro Red Blend 2007

Last had a bit under 3 years ago. Could use a ton more time. Probably would have called southern Rhone blind. Quite generous with lots of red fruit. Excellent acid and a bit of refinement on the finish give some sense that this is from somewhere else - in this case, higher altitude wines in the Douro valley that the producer uses in the best years for a reserva. Nice wine. — 5 months ago

Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A.

Vintage Porto Port Blend 2003

Served this slightly chilled (12’C?).
Gorgeously fresh and pure dark fruit. Succulent, juicy, still primary….
Tannines and alcohol beautifully blended into the dense and viscous core. Only a slight hint of spice, chocolate and licorice now. Sweetness and freshness in excellent balance. It even feels more fresh than sweet at the moment. Certainly not too heavy nor intense.
This is so forward and yummy and sexy right now… I just don’t miss the complexity it might be lacking at this stage.
Sure, it has a few decades of life left and it could get more cerebral and complex…
But don’t bother. Drink it now!
