November 21, 2023 - One of my Favorit wines from Portugal. Ellegant, modern and mediteranian style. Perfect conditions now. Fine Wine experience from Alentejo.

February 18, 2023 - 8 years on and a most enjoyable bottle of wine with strong aromas of flowers almost perfume. Memories of Portugal, it aged well.

September 18, 2022 - Aragonez, Trincadeira, Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Buschet, aged 12 months in French and American oak. Total acidity 6,2 g/l, residual sugar 2,5 g/l, 14.5% vol.
Decanted an hour before dinner, kept the wine at ~18°C. Red stone fruit and sour cherry, fresh and elegant, medium+ bodied and long finish. Not super complex but highly enjoyable.
Near to its peak now, drink within the next 5 years, short decant is recommended in the current state. -

January 16, 2021 - Quite austere at opening, much better after 3 hours in the decanter. Alentejo pure, full fruit but not stewed, dry, medium+ acidity, full bodied, quite smooth now, long finish. Ppandians note below brings it to the point. Drink now with a long decant, else wait 2 to 3 years with the next bottle, very good price to quality relation, 90+.
