Shows good typicity for a Pinot Noir -- smooth tannins, good acidity, bouquet and taste of red fruit. Well-made. What brings down the grade a bit for me is alcohol level... tastes more alcoholic than the 13.5% on the label.

A great Alvarinho; solid minerality, strong citrus. Not as acidic as last bottle, citrus note more orange/tangerine than lemon this time. Maybe serving temperature, which was a bit on high side, was the reason? Anyhow, a superb wine which can certainly age some more years.

Quite light and aromatic. Good, everyday drinking wine -- probably best as an aperitif.
