"The Lopez of Portugal"- what a beauty. Leathery red fruit, with dried floral notes and a touch of jamon iberico. Silky and full rounded palate, with a little allspice and sweet earth that lingers. By far my favorite Portuguese producer, Bairrada is my new jam.

Really interesting Portugese white, 40% bical/40%cerceal/20 something else! On medium end of a light frame, all white flowers & freshness w an undercurrent of Burgundian rounded deliciousness.

It's not a bad wine, but it has a very bitter finish that I find unpleasant
