Quite amazed, how well this wine stood the test of time. Still honey and good acidity. Similar to last note and reminded of a Marsanne based white from the Rhone

Found on close out and bought it because I love this producers rose. PNP. Cork perfect. Unlike its 08 and 09 brethren this one is showing its age. Color gold. Nose has nuts and butterscotch. Swishing shows its acid but the nuts and butterscotch are prominent and this has more oak flavors on the finish. Sipping is more of the same. If you enjoy oxidative style Spanish portuguese whites then time to drink, but if not time to gift to someone who does :)

Golden colour. Nice nose of honey, banana and some vanilla (must be the american oak). On the palate good acidity but also creamy. Overall quite modern but not bad. Matched well with grilled potatoes, cod and salsa verde (a Jamie Oliver recipie).

A serious wine good body/structure, clean fresh with flavours of melon and an underlying oakyness. Blend os Antão Vaz / Roupeiro / Arinto made by a large progressive winery. £18.50 on restaurant wine list, £12 to take away. The Butchers Arms - hidden in the English countrysided- is owned by a Portuguese family who import Portuguese wines and although their list (available on their site at http://www.thebutchersarms.com ) has first growths, Ch d'Yquem and more, we always go for the Portuguese wines. :)

Roupeiro, Arinto and Antão Vaz, macération pelliculaire, fermentation and 6 months aging on American oak. Ripe, juicy, lively, not very expressive (hints of flowers, herbs, ripe fruit, no discernable oak) but smooth and rounded; good length. Not without finesse.

Light yellow colour with green hints soft in the nose, fruity hints (apple, pineapple), subtile burned wood. Nice acid on the palet, more wood here but balanced. Apple again, citrus, ripe and full-bodied. Very nice overall

Light gold in color. th enose show's buttery oak with lime and mineral undercurrents. Really well balanced and better as it gets a bit of air into it. In the mouth the oak is a presence but not overbearing, with a creamy mouthfeel overall. Flavors of pineapple, limey citrus, and mixed nuts. This was 6 months in American oak and aged surlie. 3.5/5

This reserve is quite concentrated and a little heavy on the oak, but overall it offers a great value at it´s price.

Shell Fish and Crustaceans at Ramiro (Lisbon, near the Intendente Metro Stop): Lovely wine, a blend from the Alentejo region, very reminenscent of a Hermitage or other Rhone whites. Had the same the night before, and really enjoyed this typical Portugese offering. Clean and fresh, very little oak
