Mar 6th, 2021What a nose! Complex, enticing, quite elegant. Black fruit & black cherries, nice wood accents, a bit of earthy notes, a hint of leather. Actually very Bordeaux’esque… and yet slightly different. Warmer. Closer to Bolgheri or Maremma. So enticing.
On the palate this is much lighter - very Baga in style. Light yet with presence & punch. Love the tannic frame - present & firm yet so juicy. Brilliant freshness and purity and great depth. This has real character and is so delicious at the same time.
From centenarian Baga vineyards on stony slopes.
A brilliant wine!

The first wine of the trip turned out to be the best and the best find. Made from rescued old vines (80+ years?) this wine turned out massive depth of minerality along with fruit the kept evolving from bright citrus to warm stone fruits. I wish I could find this again!

2016 Baga from Luis Gomes is more mineral than fruit at first, then the fruit opens up in the glass. Great with food, especially hearty seafood and lighter meats and chicken.
