Very light. Not much to smell or taste. The is just a little pleasant citrus acidity. No complexity at all, but certainly refreshing on a hot Portuguese day and definitely nothing wrong with it. For 3.5$ per bottle……. good qpr!

A nice surprise after the bottle I drank a few months ago. Fresh yellow and white tropical fruits, pleasant acidity and quite expressive. A little pleasant sweetness.
Very smooth Bdx blend with red and black fruits and some pleasant sweetness. Well dosed oak. The tannin is soft and easy. Very well balanced wine with some complexity. Completely ready now, but no hurry.
A lot of cherries in the bouquet. Soft bitterness. Cherries again on the palate together with other black forest fruits. Too young. At this moment not unpleasant, but one-dimensional. Will improve, but will never be great.
Full bodied. Soft tannin. Good oak. Ripe red as well as black fruits. Firm amount of sweetness. Nice at this moment, but it can last a few more years as well.
Cassis, laurel, even some lead pencil. Soft tannin. Good fruit. This is a very nice, fairly complex wine. Ready now, but will keep this level another year or 2 - 4.

Full bodied, fat, butter, soft yellow tropical fruits. Very mild and also somewhat mature. Not a wine of great finesse, but certainly ok.
