  Medium body, deep purple color. Intriguing and complex aroma of black and blue fruits, black pepper, tobacco, licorice and wild flowers. Blackberry and sour plum on the palate complemented by forest’s earthy background and long mineral finish. Rich but elegant and balanced wine, lovely acidity and muscular tannins. Food friendly, well pairing with stuffed peppers. Needs extra aeration, open four/six hours ahead. Don’t chill it too much, serve 18ºC - 21ºC. Drink now to end of the decade.

  Russk. 91-. Good chunky mouthfeel. Missing some of the barnyard that makes the 2012 lower tier so enjoyable.

  Russk. Drank at the 1st Expats at Mustang. My wine. One of My WOTN out of 10 reds. My favorite Luis Pato, and I like Luis Pato. He is the La Rioja Alta of Portugal. Immediately, supple. 12.5% alcohol. Then minerally. Then finishing with earth and barnyard. 92+ Get more.

  Um vinho extremamente afinado. Taninos finos, madeira nova. Equilíbrio total e profundo na garganta. Um prazer total da melhor Baga da Bairrada. Aromas complexos com notas da fruta e madeira muito bem integrada. Em boca redondo, fino, elegante, macio.
