Delicious wine with slightly spicy dark fruit. Would have liked a bit more tannins to really balance out the fruit.

Purchased for $19. Beautiful golden yellow color. You guys know, I like trying single varietal wines and this is really interesting, since it's an "international variatal" and not native to Portugal. Really fun!!!! And really good. Notes of peach, honeysuckle and hints of sweet nectar. There's also hints of oak and tar from the barrel aging. I love this. This would be a perfect match for Thanksgiving.

OPINION:
*Recommended*

Retail $18. Under cork. 100%(?) Viognier. Well, this is one of those wines that I forgot about and waited just too long. Golden in color, slightly oxidized nose, not much in the way of fruit. Flawed? I guess? Old? For sure.

Deep ruby red colour with purple edges. Wood, toast and dark plums on the nose. Taste of ripe dark fruits, with hints of earth and herbs. Good acidity and structure, with a dry, almost bitter finish. Goes well with grilled meat, pork or game.

Purchased for $14. I enjoy trying wines with history. The Quinta at Dona Maria was built over 300 years ago, in 1718, and has been producing wine for over 150 years. This red from Alentejo is a blend of 40% Alicante Bouschet, 25% Touriga Nacional, 20% Syrah and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. With grapes like those and the winery history, how could I pass this up? Very dark ruby in color. Lots of delicious spice jumps from the glass.... pepper, tobacco, mint, slate with really juicy red fruits. Dark cherry, plum and slight hints of cassis. Very tasty. But there's a slight green streak on the finish that detracts from, what is generally, a very delicious wine. Grade: B+

Deep purplish ruby red. Dark currants on the nose with olives, baking spices and cherries. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus acidity. Medium plus bodied with dark baking spices and currants on the palate, and a bit of tobacco. A bit spicy too with a long finish. Drink till 2032.

This is some pretty decent QPR from Portugal as they often are these days. On the nose, bramble like fruit, red, blue and black fruits present. Showing a blend. Hint of spices, some black peppercorn, and a slight green note. Much of the same on the palate, with some spice that lingers. Medium + acidity, medium to medium - tannin. This has mellowed out with time. My tastes have definitely shifted from wines like these, but good for what it is. A solid weeknight wine with no fuss.

Opened this wine tonight at home for a gathering with my spouse's cousins. We had food from New Ubin Seafood and Zhong Zhong.

Bought this from Macau years ago. Brickish brown in colour with notes of rich wild berries, ripe prunes, capsicum, cassis, connecting with mint and spices. The flavour is intense and round, with silky tannins and a persistent finish.

Graceful, smooth, beautiful. At MOP $350, this wine represents excellent value. Wish I had bought more of this wine back then.

Second wine up at the 24th Virtual tasting was a Portuguese blend that had 50% Alicante Bouschet- a new varietal to the group. A deep garnet color, this wine was showing a touch of age. On the nose we got blueberry, tobacco, licorice, loads of black cherry, some funk and oak influence by way of smoke, creosote, vanilla, charcoal, chocolate and cedar- our tasting group is that sensitive!

The palate was super smooth with silky tannins, loads of oak, spice box, rich blueberry, black cherry and tar with a tart finish. Low to medium acidity this mid-weight bodied wine has a long finish and is very balanced- 93 points and my WOTN. At $45 it's not a daily drinker but value for cash it is a super nice treat wine that gets 5 stars from me. Drink till 2028 with richer meats and stews.

Purchased for $20. Per the back label, we opened one hour before serving (but we did not decant). This is delicious. Sweet juicy raspberry, cassis, blackberry, spice. New world fruit with that "Portuguese spice". Equal parts (25%) of: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Touriga Nacional. I really enjoyed this. This isn't the wine you would drink if you're looking for a sense of place. But this is delicious. Grade: A

Purchased for $18. Beautiful golden yellow color. I noticed this was 100% viognier and got excited. Usually I try to stay clear of the "international varietals" in Portugal, preferring the regional grapes. But I do enjoy a good viognier, and one with 6 years of age? I had to try it. And boy oh boy, am I glad I did. This was great. Notes of peach, honeysuckle and hints of sweet nectar. There's also hints of oak and tar from the barrel aging. I love this. Grade: A

This is a big wine made mainly from grapes with which we may be less familiar. Alicante Bouschet, Petite Verdot, Syrah and Touriga Nacional. Yes, familiar enough with Syrah, maybe even Petite Verdot !!

As such, it doesn't taste like the other big red wines we are used to. Takes a bit of palate readjustment. More importantly, it needs decanting and time to open up. Initially it is difficult to warm up to these flavors.

From the label, old vine grapes stomped by foot, fermented in ancient marble "lagares", matured in New French Oak.

A tremendous amount of old world effort went into this wine and I am happy to be experiencing it.

Amazing. This wine is ageing so well. Six years bottle age and drinking now better than ever !!!

This could so easily been from the Rhone, on a tasting let's say, excellent effort by Dona Maria. Totally worth it ...
