Blackberry nose with savory and smoky notes of bacon, bay leaf, earth, licorice and more. Really opened up after about an hour. Rich and full texture, the juicy blackfruit has northern Rhone-like savory black olive, smoke, and herbal notes. Very long finish, and very enjoyable overall.

Very deep dark rubi colour, nose of blackcurrant and syrup, very rich and dense, modern style, alcoholic, almost like a dry port. Good quality but truly not our style.

A rich, full-bodied wine. It welcomes you with the deepest, darkest purple you have ever seen, almost black in color. Then, the aroma invistes you with dark blackberry, mulberry and a violet scent to a dense, firm mouthful of fruit along with fine tannins. It almost reminds you of a young Bordeaux. But then, no, as it’s spicy black pepper tingle and more violets and exotic notes come out. What would absolutely stun you is to find out was there is no oak used on this wine. The tannins are silky with time, but, make no mistake, this is a BIG wine. Often, that is achieved with oak. But here, it is just a reflection of the grapes and the touch nature of Alentejo! Unbelievable!

A gift so unsure the cost, but a nice full bodied red that everyone enjoyed.
