Casa de Santar Nobre 2013
As previously mentioned (regarding the white wine) was the first time that 2 wines were awarded this distinction (Dão Nobre). This red was one of them. Blend of "Touriga Nacional", "Alfrocheiro", "Aragonês" and "Jaen". Aroma to red fruits, cocoa and some wood. In the...
Cavalo Maluco 2009
The "Cavalo Maluco" has already accustomed us to some peculiarities: it is a very intense wine and it shouldn't be drink while young. To the sides of the "Torrão", very hot zone by nature, wines that are not for boys are made. Chocolate and herb aroma. In the mouth it...
Altas Quintas 2004
It was a very promising project that was put on holding, there to the sides of "Serra de São Mamede", in the "Alto Alentejo". I saved this first edition of this wine, a little by chance, and in good time I did it. "Trincadeira", "Aragonês" and "Alicante Bouschet"....
Talentus 2011
Another relatively consensual wine. Very pleasant aroma of macerated red fruit. In the mouth it is elegant and little full-bodied, relatively tasty, and the weak point is the end which is very little persistent. The wood is well-matched with the fruit. You can save or...
Vinha dos Amores Touriga Nacional 2011
I have heard that this new brand of "Casa de Santar" was replacing the "Conde de Santar". I find it strange, because this wine is a mono caste of TN, and the profile is different from that of the "Conde de Santar". But ahead. We can feel the caste in the aroma, very...
Morgado de Sta. Catherina 2014
It was already the best "arinto" of Portugal. In former times, "Quinta da Romeira" presented us with a low range brand, which was always a winning bet: "Prova Régia". And then with the top of the range, this "Morgado", of old vineyards. Then there were many...
Druida Encruzado Reserva 2013
We already made here an apology to this magnificent work of "Nuno do Ó", with vineyards of the caste "encruzado" at 500m of height. Mineral, aristocratic aroma. In the mouth it is creamy, flavorful, full bodied, enveloping. It's a huge pleasure to drink it. The ending...
96 anos de História Caves S. João 1983
"Caves São João" are celebrating the decade before their 100th anniversary, with an annual launch of a special wine, referring to the decade in question. After the "arinto" (very good by the way) of last year, this year, to commemorate the 96th anniversary, and having...
CV – Curriculum Vitae 2014
Excellent nose, radiating fruit and freshness. In the mouth is fruity, the wood gives a very slight touch to the vanilla that only suits it. Perfect acidity. Relatively dry finish. A pure aristocrat. Very well. (Our ratings always take into account the price, so it is...
Condessa de Santar 2010
I begin by saying that I am neither a great fancier nor a great connoisseur of sparkling wines. And then those sweet things, I do not even see them. This sparkling wine was a very nice accompaniment of a fish dish. Made of "encruzado" and "bical", having had...
