2019 Quinta de Sant'Ana Merlot Mafra
5/11/2024 - Ellon wrote:
A merlot clearly made like a nice Pomerol. Medium dark ruby with pinkish hue. A dirty old styled nose with a pleasant animal note, a bit of tar and an austere macerated fruit (more red than dark). The palate is very bordalaise with the medium body being invaded by blue fruits, earth note and tannins still begging for some rest. The finale is long and supported by some good acidity. Really like a Pomerol. Needs some time to become more elegant. Liked it

2013 Adega de Pegões Vinho Regional Península de Setúbal Grande Reserva

Still fairly dark with the ruby opening just at the rim. Some evolution but the ripe red fruits are very much on command, after comes a decadent flower note and slight animal edge. Uber elegant, round and full bodied. Ripe red fruits, coffee, Touch of euchalyptus. Still fairly structured but for me on the right place to start drinking. Médium on the finish and médium acidity. A wine everyone Will enjoy in a great place.

2015 Quinta do Encontro Bairrada Encontro 1

Still fairly Young looking. First impression is the high quality wood, with all the buttery, almond impressiona attached. The lemony side of the Arinto is tamed by the wood. You can taste a very well made wine with the Arinto embracing the wood very well. Shy on adjectives, round with a great balance between some fruit, quality wood and the welcomed freshness. Nice acidity without loosing the roundness. Long at the end. Still fresh and young
