4 hour decant. Decent enough drop at this price - slightly faded, but wearing it well - still fruity, but an undertone of honey and withered berries - fine, lingering finish.

Medium ruby with some dark shades. The nose boasts ripe cherries, milk chocolate and a funky edge. There is an unusual freshness for a southern portuguese wine. The palate is medium body and elegant with the fruit coming behind the toasty notes. Some elegance and velvet character to be found. The finish is medium with low acidity and soft tannins. A pleasant wine for 8euros with (maybe) the freshness character due to the atlantic proximity of the vineyard. Drinking well now.

Jamie Goode's 50 Great Portuguese Wines 2009 (Manchester): Quite restrained, muted black fruit on the nose. Nice palate - it's good, fairly easy drinking, but with an attractive character.
