  March 11, 2023 - I've had quite a few of these and they all have been nice. Mixed red fruit, good acidity and tannins, plenty of alcohol.

  June 4, 2022 - I think waited a bit too long: little fruit, too much acidity.

  March 9, 2022 - Opened to a Pasta Bolognese.
  
  PnP, 14% Alc., bright dark purple red.
  
  Nose: Wild black berries, gentle.
  
  Palate: Gentle, wonderful harmonious and 'juicy', black wild berries, very delicate use of wood, a touch bitterness, delicious and very drink animating. What a great wine for a price of 12 Euros.
  
  In 2019, a colder vintage, I will top up on that again!

  February 8, 2022 - Again, a modern-ish easy drinking red with a lot of fruit but not a lot of weight. Tannins were pretty soft as well. Flavor profile was somewhat over-ripe and anonymous (blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franc, and a couple of others) but pleasant enough. Not bad for the money. Can hold this for several more years at least, but I don't see this improving and turning into something more profound.

  January 10, 2022 - Deep ruby, intense and well-sculpted exuding blackberry, cherry, licorice and plum. Well balanced with the right amount of acidity and some dusty tannins keeping it in check. Good all around and enjoyable. NI:3, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:3
