Reviews and Ratings

Patrícia rated this wine as 100/100 with the following review:

Mto bom 15/6
Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Spicy bold fruits with distinct oak notes. This wine also carried with it vanilla, plums and chocolate. A nice drinking wine.
Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This intensely garnet, medium to full bodied red hails from Portugal’s Setubal peninsula. It is a delicious blend of 56% Castelao, 32% Touriga Nacional and 12% Touriga Francesa, which lends character, sweet aroma and complexity. It delivers aromas and flavors of ripe sweet cherries, plums, fig jam, vanilla and spice with a touch of wood, followed by a smooth, lingering finish. It could age for another 6-8 years. Best served at 14 C. Great with mature cheeses, hearty roasts and grilled meats. Consider decanting as it may throw a sediment.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

That's a blend of Castelao (48%), Touriga Nacional (28%) and Touriga Francesa (24%)!

Deep garnet color with notes of cherry, raspberry and spice like vanilla!

The wine is smooth, medium-bodied and long!

Pair it with beef and chorizo skewers with coriander!

Serve it at 15-17 degrees!

Ready to drink but can be aged 3-5 years!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
