2023 Guarda Rios


 Decent Rosé. A bit of play on a tongue. Fruits and citrus in the nose and taste. But there are better Rosé wines in Portugal.

Was good with white fish.

Prosecco Donelli


 Nice Italian bubbly. Was especially good with crab cake.

2021 Porta d'Armas


 It was high-risk purchase. The only reason I bought it, 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Sometimes it doesn't work, but this time, right on point.

Very good wine. Multiple berries in the nose and taste. Almost no sugar. Reacts perfectly to aerator.

Enjoyed it with choriço and mushroom pizza.

2023 Adegamãe Redblend


 Adegamãe Rosé was good, so we decided to try red. The red is great! Powerful caramel note and a hint of raspberry. Very well balanced, almost no sugar.

Enjoyed it with ham and mushroom pizza and then with baked bonito. This wine would pair with almost any red meat and red fish.

2022 Château Sensine

 


Another classic Bordeaux. Feels like 2022 was a very good year. This one is a bit unexpected. Strong nose and taste of sour cherry with a hint of black currant.

Enjoyed it with ham and mushroom pizza.

2022 Château Belle Cure


 Classic Bordeaux. Strong nose and taste of black currant with a hint of red currant. Almost no sugar.

Was excellent with sous vide duck breast.

2022 Château de Moupas


 Classic Bordeaux. Black currant in the nose and taste, a lot of tannins. A bit harsh after opening the bottle, even after aerator. But it's getting softer 20-30 minutes after opening.

Enjoyed it with sous-vide salmon pizza.
