  So youthful at the cork pull: a testament to the timeless style of (not to dis, but more or less) alentejo. Generous, foodie, not fruity. Structured, dry, complex. Medium plus bodied, medium acid. Black raspberry into fresh plum. Sandalwood. Wildly good.

  drank through coravin, classy, fresh and elegant. Unexpected for a wine made this far south

  Single vineyard wine from Extremadura. Very fruity nose with dark cherries, raspberry and strawberry. Eventhough the aromas are quite ripe the overall profile of the wine is cool and restrained. Silky and elegant in the mouth. Hardly any oak or noticable alcohol. At present this lacks some complexity, but it's still a very nice wine. Will probably buy more if possible (600 bottles made).

  A private dinner (Restaurant Lurra, London, UK): From a north-facing vineyard in Alange. Grapes are foot-trodden, eight day maceration, eleven months in 500 litre French barrels. Natural cork, wax capsule, 600 bottles produced. Silky, fresh, very aromatic, pure and precise, crushed red berries, gentle skin tannins provide good grip, flowers (roses, violets) and Asian spices (cloves, cinnamon), juicy and direct, white peach, energetic, hint of green apple, very good length. Like Burgaud Morgon from Iberia, if that makes any sense.

  The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and youthful, showing medium(+) intensity flavours of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, liquorice and black pepper. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(-) acidity. It has medium soft tannins and a medium(+) alcohol. It has a medium body and medium(+) intensity flavours of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, liquorice and black pepper. The finish is medium(+).
  
  It is a very good quality wine. It has a very nice flavour concentration and a quite decent finish, as well as some degree of complexity provided by spicy notes, but it lacks some acidity to balance the alcohol and fruit concentration. Can drink now, but it has enough concentration and some tannic structure to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 1-2 years.
