  • 86/87. Love all manner of Portuguese reds; love all manner of natty wines; love Aphros's Loureiro -- this, though, was just not my thing. Really putting the sour back into sour cherries. Not poorly made at all -- just nothing I'd buy again.

  • I had a glass of the 2012 vintage at a New York restaurant - our waitress has recommended this wine to us and, as I had never had a Portuguese red before, I thought I'd give this one a try. The restaurant was quite dark so my perceptions of color will probably be off. The wine appeared to be inky, though when I tipped the glass over a candle, it was quite transparent. On the nose, I got floral aromas (magnolia? rose?) mixed with red fruit. There was a bit of spice in there as well. The wine was quite acidic and very refreshing on the palate. Palate was dominated by red fruit. Paired wonderfully with a grilled beef tenderloin.

  • Fruity and raw. Agree with the comment "good quaffing drink".

  • Almost explosive berry nose with sweet raspberry dominating. Some bitter orange, liquorice and a slight touch of animality.
    Medium bodied and juicy palate of raspberry to forest fruit. Minor tannin presence and pretty refreshing acidity. Quite tangy and bitter - which keeps this nicely nervous. Some MLF feel, liquorice and herbs. Lengthy.
    So clean, ripe and concentrated it's hard to see VVT here. But it's a good wine. Reminds me of Austrian Heinrich. Acetic character strengthens considerably with time.

  • At Latva Bar in Helsinki. Interesting minerally nose. Light bodied and smooth, delivering juicy dark fruit with prominent mineral and liquorice flavors. Gentle tannins and acidity. Flattened a bit with more airtime in the glass. A nice quaffer though. Paired nicely with the sapas dishes.
