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.” - **2019 Paixão pelo Vinho, Portugal | 16.5 / 20 points** “The wine shows a clean ruby colour. Its aroma is fresh and enveloping, with prominent floral notes intertwined with black fruit and berry. On the palate it offers good body and volume, velvety tannins, correct freshness, and maintains an aromatic profile combined with spices and mild toasts, ending persistently.” - **2017 Revista de Vinhos, Luís Costa, Portugal | 16.5 / 20 points** “Violet red. Red fruit with menthol notes. A hint of wet stone. Beautiful acidity and great balance. Very elegant.” - **2016 Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss, USA | 90 / 100 points** “This is a structured and dense wine. It has a fine contrast between the ripe red fruits, the mineral tannins and acidity. From the company’s vineyards, the wine is balanced and worth ageing.” - **2015 Wine Spectator, Kim Marcus, USA | 90 / 100 points** “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 surface on the dense finish, balanced by some creamy hints.” - **2015 Revista Adega, Eduardo Milan, Brazil | 90 / 100 points** “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 is juicy, asking for another sip. The oak is well integrated, adding fruity, floral and herbaceous aromas with sweet spice notes. Rounded and pleasant to drink, it should become even better with cured meats in general.”
