  November 12, 2018 - This reminds me of a table-wine version of LBV Port. Deep, savory, minerally, this pours dark purple and has a richness that's also bone dry, with slate, baker's chocolate, and dried berry notes at the fore. A fine shroud of light tannins curbs this a bit at the end, suggesting further aging possibilities, although I doubt the flavor profile will improve much.

  December 17, 2017 - Pour le prix c`st correct sans plus.
  Nez sur l`élevage, les fruits rouge compotés et le sous-bois.
  En bouche, assez moderne, un peu simple.
  Boisé et souple avec une finale moyenne sur la chauffe.

  October 19, 2017 - 100% Baga, un cépage méconnu du Portugal. Rouge rubis foncé, au nez on est sur la mûre, fruits noirs mais aussi les dattes et les figues. En bouche le fruit mure prend le dessus, c'est ample, généreux, faible acidité, tannins fondu, bien équilibré. Dans mes souvenirs, le vin est bien différent de ma dernière bouteille il y a 2 ans. Beaucoup plus évolué. Un bon vin,plutôt riche et prêt a boire ! Très différent de la Cuvée Poeirinho de Niepoort qui elle aussi est 100% Baga mais plus une bombe de fruit similaire a un Pinot Noir de la Nouvelle-Zélande.

  March 31, 2017 - Dark purple core with crimson rim and orange and magenta reflections. Aromas of wet leaves, tomato leaf, steak fat, dried red cherries, underripe blueberries, sweet tobacco, plum, saline minerality. Palate has medium tannins, medium-low acidity, medium finish. This is a pleasant, if unremarkable wine, with a nose superior to the palate...something feels just a little flat on the mid-palate. I have no other frame of reference for baga as a variety, but I would describe it as pinot noir meets syrah, kissed by nebbiolo.
