 Tasted by UpfromtheCellar on 5/28/2013 & rated 85 points: Rough around the edges, this wine was probably never a sweet crooner to begin with and time hasn't softened this hoarse raspy voice yet.

Barnyard, vanilla and dark fruit on the nose, the mid palate is bright, almost a little harsh, thin and nothing special.

A great Sangria wine (even if its from Portugal) if you have any left use it this summer with a splash of sugar, OJ, spices and yum yum.

Tasted again the following evening. Marginally better (86) but compared to the leaden Zin we opened (see next review) all of a sudden it seemed light.......... (1075 views)

Reserva

Still Portuguese table wines of designated origin may also be labelled "reserva", indicating an alcohol content of at least 0.5% higher than the legal minimum established by the respective DOC or VR; however, stricter requirements in individual DOCs may supersede this standard.
