H.M. Borges Malvasia 30 anos
Another excellent quality / price ratio of H. M. Borges. It is a blend of more than 30 years. I can smell salinity and iodine in the aroma. In the mouth it is unctuous, sweet but not cloying; because it is fresh and saline. Also lots of dried fruit. Endless end....
Cape Charme 2008
A partnership between Eben Sadie and Dirk Niepoort. The grapes are of the first (several native grape varieties) and Dirk goes to South Africa to participate in oenology. And they make a wine of Charm fashion. That is, a Burgundian wine. Pale red color. Vegetable...
H.M. Borges Sercial 1990
H.M.Borges usually provides us with excellent quality / price nectars. This flask is another example. An intense aroma, with iodized notes of caramel and nuts. In the mouth it is unctuous, full bodied, tasty, and has a long (dry, but not too) end. A nectar that does...
Quinta da Boavista Touriga Nacional 2013
We have already spoken of this producer, and of the very good Reserve, with which they offered us in their initial harvest. This "touriga nacional", of a lower range compared to the reserve, proves a certain refinement that these wines present. Whether this is due to...
Casal de Santa Maria Chardonnay 2014
I'm a fan of this white wine. I think the caste adapts very well, not only in the region of Lisbon, but also in the region of "Colares". I hope that the death of the Baron does not negatively influence (in the future) what this house has been doing. The aroma is very...
Meandro 2014
I confess that I have always been a great fan of this wine. I followed it since the beginning (1999), along with the top of the range. A wine in the range of 10 euros, but that was worth more. We knew it was an always safe bet. At the restaurant for example. I confess...
Quinta do Tamariz Alvarinho Reserva 2015
A very nice alvarinho, very mineral, less citric, with much freshness and pleasant end mouth. And with a very acceptable price. Price: 7€ P.F.(NOV 2016) 16,5 Points
Dalva Golden White Porto Colheita 71
Dalva has given us a range of wines that are little known to most consumers: the old white ports. They chose 1 year per decade (starting at 50), and here we are with the 70's. Harvest 1971, which happens to be the year of two of us here from wine4people ... Loaded...
Vadio 2012
I confess I'm not a "baga" lover. There are few "bagas" that give me pleasure to drink. This is one of them year after year. A soft and elegant "baga". Unlike the power and astringency of the majority. Chemical aroma of caste. Body soft, thin in mouth and tasty. Nice...
Fonte do Ouro Dão Nobre Branco 2015
This year two wines were distinguished with the prestigious epithet "Dão Nobre". It is a category (exclusive of "Dão") that is reached when the wines reach 90 points (0 to 100) in the chamber of tasters, according to a recent remodeling of the certification criteria....
