  March 9, 2023 - My second btl of this and consistent with the last. Great wine for an atmospheric river (what we used to call rain). Lots of iron, dark fruit, cola, tobacco. Remains spot-on and a screaming bargain at <$20.

  December 10, 2021 - Screw top, $19. seriously? seriously good juice here. black cherry fruit, tar, wet leather, forest floor. Great on a cold gray Friday afternoon sans food, but this would really well on the grill. Not a vin de meditation and perhaps a bit heavy handed but no denying this is tasty. Has aged flawlessly.

  August 2, 2021 - Aromatic nose, a tone of green herbs, a smoky note, complexity. Dry, high(-) acidity, medium(+) tannins polished to velvet, medium(+) body, 13,5%, excellent length. Concentration, balance, a tight silhouette. Red-blue fruitiness, slone, oak, complexity. Again the herbs/green touch especially in the aftertaste. A velvety, concentration, tight elegance. Fabulous.
  
  Field blend of Touriga nacional, Tinta roriz and Sousão. 14 month on new barrels; 50% Portuguese, 30% French, 20% American. (The Portuguese oak has contributed with the seductive notes of green herbs, said the wine maker at our visit to the quinta.)

  January 24, 2021 - 4 years later and up 3 points. This clearly improved with time. While I didn’t find anything particularly unique, this was an enjoyable 10 year old that went down easy.

  September 22, 2020 - Pretty much as before, but all more integrated and smooth. Black cherry dominates, but with complexity of tobacco, earth. Time has been good thing here.
