A chance to buy a rare in this country, mature Portugese wine in a large format from a good vintage. I have 2 both beautifully presented in wooden cases.

Tasting Profile
  • Appearance: Intense, almost opaque garnet with a dark purple core.
  • Nose: Fragrant and complex with aromas of ripe blueberry, black cherry, and subtle notes of tobacco, toast, and spices like clove.
  • Palate: Rich and savory with a “sleek texture” and flavors of plum, blackberry, and mild oak. It features fine, firm tannins and a persistent finish.
  • Character: Often compared to a Right Bank Bordeaux in blind tastings due to its complexity and structure.

Pairing Recommendations
This wine is best enjoyed with rich, flavorful dishes that match its intensity:
  • Meats: Beef, venison, grilled lamb, or Hawaiian barbecue ribs.
  • Cheese: Hard or semi-hard cheeses like Gruyère
