  November 14, 2023 - Dark red with some clarity at the rim. Ripe cassis, plum , chemical note (varnish), smoke and a degree of wetness. There's a sugestion of bell pepper that never really comes out. Ripe cabernet profile on the nose. The palate is medium to full bodied still fairly strucured. The fruit goes more on the plum side, liqueuresque confirming a very primary stage of life for the wine. Powerful tannins and good acidity. Long finale with the general structure very much imposing itself. Very very young and actually very promising. This can become something interesting even if it's a ripe expression of cabernet who's able to maintain tension and freshness. Hold for another 5 years.

  May 16, 2022 - I was really surprised by this. I don’t know what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting a silken Portuguese gem (at the 17-20EUR we price point). Dark fruit, elegantly textured, quite long. I liked it. Not especially complex but nonethless very good and very surprising. Will seek out.

  February 13, 2022 - 🇪🇸 Cabernet Sauvignon con un poco de Merlot y crianza en roble francés nuevo. Color rojo rubí de capa alta. Nariz de fruta negra madura, chocolate, caramelo y especias dulces. En boca confirma todo lo que había prometido la nariz y presenta un conjunto armonioso, con estructura y cuerpo, taninos firmes y pulidos, finalizando largo con un retrogusto que recuerda al café.
  
  🇵🇹🇧🇷 Conhecendo mais uma safra e sempre em muito bom nível.
