For a nice price, you get a solid wine with relatively good depth and fine fruit. As it opens, it becomes fruitier and quite delicious. It adds some elegance. The tannins are ripe, but they still support the fruit. This is a nice overachiever, drinkable now but likely to improve. It will likely show better if drunk just a little cooler than normal.” Paixão pelo Vinho, Portugal | 16.5/20 pts, “Wine of ruby colour, clean. Fresh, enveloping aroma, with prominent floral notes intertwined with black fruits and berries. On the palate, it has good body and volume, velvety tannins, correct freshness, retains the aromatic profile combined with spices and mild toasted notes, ending persistently.” 2017 Revista de Vinhos, Luís Costa, Portugal | 16.5/20 pts, “Violet‑red. Red fruit with menthol notes. Wet stone note. Beautiful acidity and much balance. Very elegant.” Revista de Vinhos, Portugal | Boa Compra seal 2016 Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss, USA | 90/100 pts, “This is a structured and dense wine. It has a fine contrast between the ripe red fruits, mineral tannins and acidity. From the company’s vineyards, the wine is balanced and worth ageing.” Wine Spectator, Kim Marcus, USA | 90/100 pts, “Ripe, rich and powerful, with flavours of roasted plum, dark cherry and dried blackberry, accented by intense Asian spice notes. Dark chocolate and smoky details appear on the dense finish, balanced by some creamy hints.” 2015 Revista Adega, Eduardo Milan, Brazil | 90/100 pts, “Structured and full of fruits such as blackberries and ripe plums, it has a refreshing acidity that brings vibrancy and lifts the whole ensemble. Its tannins are soft and the finish succulent, asking for another sip. The wood is well integrated, bringing fruity, floral and herbaceous aromas, sweet spice notes. Round and pleasant to drink, it will get even better in the company of cured meats in general.”
