November 24, 2018 - The best word to describe this wine is thin. It is what I thought when I poured the glass and what I was thinking during tasting. While the taste was pleasing, the wine had no depth or body. Thankful it was a gift. I will not be searching after this wine in the store.

October 30, 2018 - I thought this was the best of my 4 bottles. A little age helps.

December 14, 2017 - Some Portuguese Reds: Rich ruby color. Smells of spicy red and black berry compote, scorched earth, savory herbs and spices. Juicy but bright, fleshy tannins and fresh acidity make for a vibrant, balanced wine. Black cherries and blackberries mix well with smoky herbs, charcoal, vanilla, coffee, some underlying mineral and rocky elements. Nice depth but an accessible wine. A blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional and Syrah. For the money, wow!

May 1, 2017 - Color: Almost transparent purple. Nose: Red tart berries like raspberries, potpourri, a hint of cherries. Mouth: Quite light which is not a negative per se. There is an aroma like yoghurt ice-cream. A bit diluted. All in all quite simple and basic. Not bad at all though. Quite quaffable. The next day I also could smell cold bonfire and I liked it better overall. If it is less than 8$ buy it. In a less competitive market you may want to pay more.
