Jan 18th, 2023chaotic but cheerful day with the kids while the missus is vacationing with a friend.
without much thought i automatically opened the red bottle in the wine fridge come evening.
blind i wasn't so sure. great strong acidity, dark fruits, coffee and spices.
felt italian, with Spanish-ness confusing me. 🇵🇹 it is.
medium + body
great acidity makes it so juicy.
tannins are actively present but integrated in a lovely way.
i had some azorians whites of antonio macanita, they were intresting. this one is intresting with emphasis on greatness.
probably a bit too young but still a great gift at the end if a hard fulfilling day.

Oct 18th, 202016/20 (88/100) Аромат с нотами варёной свёклы, чернослива, черешни и мыльно мяса. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и бархатистыми, ненавязчивым танинами. Неплохо.

2016 with Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, and Touriga Nacional grapes. 18 months french oak barrels. Tiny pepper and tobacco accent-perhaps coffee with berry undercurrents.
