9/1/2015 - Gmartins79 Likes this wine: 94 pointsManuel Gomes bottling (not Sidónio de Sousa). Beautifully elegant and encompassing. Pure and lively. What a jewel wine this is at 27 years of age. There is noticeable bottle variation and the score is for the best bottle. A great Bairrada from another age. Only 12.5 per cent. acohol level. |

1999 Quinta da Pellada Jaen Dãomore |
8/29/2015 - Gmartins79 Likes this wine: 90 pointsTypical Dão nose, dried pine tree leaves and mature cherries. Soft and caressing, still with very good fruit. At its best, but will definately hold forlonger. At only 12.5 it was so good I drank the whole bottle at dinner. |

2013 Azores Wine Company Terrantez do PicoVinho Regional Açores more |
8/28/2015 - Gmartins79 Likes this wine: 93 pointsLlight pale yellow. Balanced and delicate nose, very mineral, salty, fresh yellow apple. Also some hints of pea leaves (?). Very long and persitent finish. A gem from the slopes of a volcano in the middle of the Atlantic that should age beautifully. Only 660 bottles of this edition were made.

6/1/2015 - Gmartins79 Likes this wine: 93 pointsLight ruby with bick colour meniscus. Beautiful tertiary aromas, humid earth, mushrooms, honey, treacle but not too evolved. Smooth and elegant, but still vivacious and with a bit of fresh red fruit. Long finish. |

1996 Quinta dos Roques Tinta Cão Dãomore |
9/13/2014 - Gmartins79 wrote: 90 pointsLooking very young for its age and the palate confirms this. This wine is a deram wine for these who like wines with a more evident, but integraded, acidity, which is a carachteristic of Tinto Cão. Abundant fresh red fruit, as cherries, although evident acidity would recommend more complexity to counterbalance acidity. Still very young and with a great life ahead. |

1994 Quinta das Bágeiras Bairrada Colheita BrancoWhite Blend more |
8/28/2013 - Gmartins79 wrote: 89 pointsVery lively for a 19 year old wine although a bit too acid at the beginning. Evolved positively with some time in the glass, opening up secondary aromas. Will wait some more years to open the last bottle. |

2007 Quinta das Marias Dão Fermentado em Barricas - Barrel FermentedEncruzado more |
3/16/2013 - Gmartins79 Likes this wine: 90 pointsI had only tasted this wine before when it was released and remember the evident wood flavour. The wine has developed beautifully, being very well integraded now. Highly mineral with citrus fruits and flowery aromas. Long finish, still with a long life ahead. I would mark it 90 with a + for its aging and development potential. |
