Isso acaba por se refletir de forma mais acentuada nos grandes produtores de vinho de Porto como os Symington. Pena é que ande aí muita gente distraída a falar de grandes produtores que andam no negócio há apenas 20 anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de Touriga Nacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Granada escuro, opaco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Muito aromático e profuso: frutos pretos e vermelhos: amora e framboesa e algum floral muito leve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Muito fino de sabor com ataque de framboesa, acabando cheiro de amoras e licor escondido. É suave e aveludado, mediamente encorpado mas por outro lado robusto com taninos firmes. Acabamos por ficar com a sensação que estamos a beber um Late Bottled Vintage travestido mas sem o açúcar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho quase fora de série. Compre para ocasiões especiais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Classificação:★★★★☆&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.altano.pt/"&gt;http://www.altano.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do mesmo produtor: &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/01/altano-reserva-2005.html" target="_blank"&gt;Altano Reserva 2005&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/01/altano-reserva-2006-tinto.html" target="_blank"&gt;Altano Reserva 2006.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-Z97Q4e-xQ/Ty2pBskYDuI/AAAAAAAABQ0/f7mwB9M_430/s1600/altano+backjpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-Z97Q4e-xQ/Ty2pBskYDuI/AAAAAAAABQ0/f7mwB9M_430/s320/altano+backjpg.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;It has always been clear to me that those who devoted years to manage wine value chain knows how to get advantage. This turns out to be reflected in major Port wine producers as the Symington. It is interesting that many people are distracted with producers that started business 20 years ago and call them genius. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Made 100% from Touriga Nacional.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dark garnet, opaque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very aromatic: black and red fruits: blackberries and raspberries and some very light floral.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thin flavors: raspberry attack and blackberries in the end with some licorice underneath. Is smooth and velvety, medium bodied but on the other robust with firm tannins. Seems we are drinking a &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;metamorphosed &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Late Bottled Vintage but without the sugar.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finish:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Medium.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Near a 5 start wine.

Depois de termos provado o magnifico tinto &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/01/quinta-do-sobreir-de-cima-reserva-2003.html" target="_blank"&gt;reserva&lt;/a&gt; a expetativa era muita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend de Touriga Nacional e Tinta Roriz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Entre o rubi e o granada, ligeiramente opaco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Alguns frutos vermelhos mas não encanta.

It is soft but does not have structure despite being slightly bodied, does not have tannins and doesn't have great acidity.

Um perfil de vinho que veio para ficar mas que não vai deixar saudades. Julgo que os produtores que seguiram este estilo vão ter de voltar atrás.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito com um blend demasiado extenso: Siria, Rabigato, Viosinho, Códega do Larinho e Malvasia Fina em contacto com barricas de carvalho Francês durante 8 meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo cítrico, pálido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Alguma contenção no nariz: limão e aromas vegetais no fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Leve e meio seco, de sabor extremamente fino mas com pouca expressão, falta-lhe potência e não tem acidez. Nota-se sabor a limão que ganha algum exponencial e concentração no final em conjunto com algum balsâmico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho de verão? Talvez. Mas dentro de um balde com gelo este vinho não tem expressão e até precisa de aquecer para que se consiga extrair alguma coisa do seu interior. Este tipo de perfil não faz o meu género e é uma pena que os produtores estejam a caminhar para aqui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Classificação: ★★☆☆☆&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZyLjZYqTm4/Tv9Ecr8tpEI/AAAAAAAABPs/SmPHtAA7eoM/s1600/bardo+b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZyLjZYqTm4/Tv9Ecr8tpEI/AAAAAAAABPs/SmPHtAA7eoM/s320/bardo+b.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Last post of the year where we chased young whites from 2008, 2009, found that there is a new style in the market, almost without acidity, relatively withered and flavorless. A character that is here to stay but that won't be missed. I believe that producers that followed this style will have to go back and find other paths.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Made from a blend of: Siria, Rabigato, Viosinho, Códega do Larinho e Malvasia Fina, aged 8 months in Ferech oak barrels.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Citric pale yellow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Some contention in the nose: lemon and vegetable aromas in the background.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Light and off dry, extremely fine flavor but with little expression, it lacks power and has no acidity. Some lemon who gains some exponential and concentration at the end together with some balsamic.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finish:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Short.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Summer wine? Maybe. But put in a bucket with ice this wine lacks expression and even need to heat to be able to extract something of its interior. This type of character does not match my stile and it is a pity that the producers are moving towards oblivion.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rating:&lt;/i&gt; ★★☆☆☆&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-6943516204655777990?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/6943516204655777990/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=6943516204655777990' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6943516204655777990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6943516204655777990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/12/bardo-reserva-2009-branco.html' title='Bardo Reserva 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PYvOOhDPY_o/Tv8_6eWa9tI/AAAAAAAABPg/q-bWBlQmOtU/s72-c/bardo+f.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-3362932253406150146</id><published>2011-12-23T21:39:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-12-23T21:39:58.342Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malvasia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madeira'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN3382106909799'/><title type='text'>Blandy's Malvasia 2001</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3HEkK_0K_uQ/TvTuQm58gvI/AAAAAAAABPI/1SM0g1F99ks/s1600/blandys+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3HEkK_0K_uQ/TvTuQm58gvI/AAAAAAAABPI/1SM0g1F99ks/s320/blandys+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;E para o Natal algo extraordinariamente bom. Um vinho Madeira feito a partir de Malvasia que nos enche de doçura o nosso coração. Segue o método de canteiro em que os lotes são submetidos a temperaturas elevadas passando depois ao longo do processo de envelhecimento para exposição a temperaturas mais baixas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor âmbar alaranjada sem grande saturação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Sem grande opulência, nota-se algum alperce seco e frutos secos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Entra na boca com uma camada de banha que não nos deixa sentir o vinho, sabe a pele de laranja. Seco no início e doce no fim, muito doce mesmo. Sabe a alperce seco com raspa de chocolate preto que em conjunto com a camada de gordura de laranja e um pouco de amêndoa tornam um experiência fantástica. Sente-se o álcool que se vaporiza no final como rebuçados balsâmicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt; Médio, e complexo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa apenas 10€ e faz muita sombra a Portos Tawnys ao ponto destes se eclipsarem. Não é que o vinho esteja perto daqueles Madeiras complexos e estruturados, só que o carrossel de sabores é fenomenal. Bebi com rabanadas, bolo inglês, a solo, muito bom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blandys.com/"&gt;http://www.blandys.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NGwd7agsHrU/TvTyTQY7YbI/AAAAAAAABPU/FcMp-I4e-NQ/s1600/blandys+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NGwd7agsHrU/TvTyTQY7YbI/AAAAAAAABPU/FcMp-I4e-NQ/s320/blandys+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For Christmas something extraordinarily big and good. A Madeira wine made from Malmsey that fills our heart with sweet sensations. Aged using the "canteiro" method which batches are submitted to high temperatures first moving to cooler stages before being bottled.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Amber Orange without too much saturation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Lacks opulence, some dry Apricot and dried fruit.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Enters the mouth with a layer of fat that don't let us feel the wine, tastes to Orange peel. Dry at the beginning and sweet at the end, very sweet indeed. Tastes to dry apricot with hints of dark chocolate that together with the fat layer of orange and almonds make a fantastic experience. Feelt alcohol which is vaporized at the end.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finish:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Medium.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Costs only 10€ and puts under a dark shadow most of Tawny Ports. Isn't that the wine is near those complex, structured&amp;nbsp; Madeira, but the carousel of flavors is phenomenal. Drink with "rabanadas", solo or English pudding, very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blandys.com/"&gt;http://www.blandys.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-3362932253406150146?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/3362932253406150146/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=3362932253406150146' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3362932253406150146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3362932253406150146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/12/blandys-malvasia-2001.html' title='Blandy&apos;s Malvasia 2001'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3HEkK_0K_uQ/TvTuQm58gvI/AAAAAAAABPI/1SM0g1F99ks/s72-c/blandys+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-358443832027843861</id><published>2011-12-18T15:01:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-12-18T15:01:16.118Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN3831770162509'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><title type='text'>Casa Burmester Reserva 2008 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q332iaEdgJ8/Tu37Rwc7kfI/AAAAAAAABOc/YtFZxdJF7_I/s1600/burmester+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q332iaEdgJ8/Tu37Rwc7kfI/AAAAAAAABOc/YtFZxdJF7_I/s320/burmester+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Uma das desvantagens de ser blogger de vinho é oferecerem-nos garrafas das quais gostamos muito na esperança que a boa experiência passada também se repita. Mas nem sempre existem duas revisitações iguais, especialmente quando se tratam de colheitas diferentes. A colheita de &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/02/casa-burmester-reserva-2007-tinto.html" target="_blank"&gt;2007&lt;/a&gt; tinha-me deixado deslumbrado tal era a qualidade evidenciada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de&amp;nbsp; Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca e Tinta Roriz. Estagia 1 ano em barricas de carvalho Francês.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor rubi, escura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Alguns frutos vermelhos sem grande exuberância.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Está simples. Sabe a frutos vermelhos, framboesa e cerejas mas falta-lhe o brilho. Nota-se madeira discreta e bem integrada. Acidez correta e taninos com algum vigor mas fica-nos uma sensação seca na boca apesar de ganhar algum corpo e volume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Se pretende comprar algo que vai gerar consenso não procure mais. Custa 10€ e a maior parte das pessoas vai gostar. Se estava à espera do milagre de 2007, vai ter uma desilusão pelo que efetue outra escolha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4jLo1MHcIXM/Tu3-NL4f4hI/AAAAAAAABOk/KpRXwMve61Y/s1600/burmester+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4jLo1MHcIXM/Tu3-NL4f4hI/AAAAAAAABOk/KpRXwMve61Y/s320/burmester+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;One of the disadvantages of being a wine blogger is people offering us wines we love&amp;nbsp; in hope that a&amp;nbsp; good past experience repeats. But it not always hold true, especially when dealing with different vintages. The &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/02/casa-burmester-reserva-2007-tinto.html" target="_blank"&gt;2007&lt;/a&gt; vintage&amp;nbsp; had left me dazzled such was the  evidenced quality.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. Aged 1 year in Frech oak barrels.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Dark Ruby color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Some red fruits but lacks exuberance.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;It's simple. Red fruits, raspberries and cherries but lacks brightness. Balanced with oak. Correct acidity and tannins with some strength but it gets dry despite it haves some body and volume.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finish:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Medium.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;If you want to buy something that will generate consensus look no further. It costs 10€ and most people will like it. If you were waiting for the miracle of 2007, will be a disappointment at that means look for another choice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-358443832027843861?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/358443832027843861/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=358443832027843861' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/358443832027843861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/358443832027843861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/12/casa-burmester-reserva-2008-tinto.html' title='Casa Burmester Reserva 2008 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q332iaEdgJ8/Tu37Rwc7kfI/AAAAAAAABOc/YtFZxdJF7_I/s72-c/burmester+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-8945143582494319268</id><published>2011-12-11T22:30:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-12-13T18:22:59.875Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dão'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN7403813343174'/><title type='text'>Quinta da Ponte Pedrinha 2006 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wX-aAT8Sa9k/TuUwDtUxY4I/AAAAAAAABOI/fBVFyVWU9_E/s1600/pedrinha+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wX-aAT8Sa9k/TuUwDtUxY4I/AAAAAAAABOI/fBVFyVWU9_E/s320/pedrinha+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Feito maioritariamente a partir da casta Jaen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Granada escuro, quase opaca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático, sai fora copo frutos vermelhos, baunilha e cheira a figo.

Falta tanto a este vinho. Falta estrutura, falta vida! É ultra leve. O sabor anda lá por detrás escondido diria que tem extrato combinado com algum resíduo citrino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto e desinteressante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Por vezes diz-se por aí que existem vinhos perfeitos para acompanhar salada, mas este tem dificuldade em impor-se com qualquer prato.

Nota-se fruta vermelha madura e por detrás há algo escondido, parecer ser café com um fundo constante: tem álcool em demasia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt; Longo, quente e prolongado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;O que se ganha em fazer vinhos destes? Será que o plano de marketing que passa apenas pela utilização de castas Portuguesas desta forma é suficiente? Penso que não. O vinho é adocicado, podendo agradar a quem goste de vinhos fáceis de beber, mas torna-se cansativo, além de que a regra de utilizar castas em excesso resulta normalmente numa grande misturada de sabores indefinidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nota: Garrafa oferecida pelo distribuidor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqlfh4fDXfk/Ts7OndaTf-I/AAAAAAAABNw/L1MaJTSgzgs/s1600/simetria+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqlfh4fDXfk/Ts7OndaTf-I/AAAAAAAABNw/L1MaJTSgzgs/s320/simetria+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Made from a blend of Trincadeira, Tinta Grossa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez, aging in new French oak barrels.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Dark garnet color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Does not interact too much, charged of alcohol, better, Portuguese aged aguardente, oak and some red fruits&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;It is round, soft, velvety with light body, but there are many flavors mixed, and the wine is medium sweet without being addictive. Ripe red fruit and underneath is something hidden, seems to be coffee with a constant background: too much alcohol.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Extra long and hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;What is the benefit in making these wines? Does the marketing brings value? The choice of using Portuguese grape varieties this way is enough? I think not. The wine is sweet, can please those who like easy-drinking wines, but it gets tiring, and the rule of using to many wine varieties usually results in a great &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; undefined &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;mix of flavors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Final note: Bottle offered by the distributor.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-2429627042461880886?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/2429627042461880886/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=2429627042461880886' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/2429627042461880886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/2429627042461880886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/11/symmetria-2006-tinto.html' title='Symmetria 2006 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LrCSspfv6Bc/Ts7I4aEqPfI/AAAAAAAABNo/kxYO0zGXzmc/s72-c/simetria+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-3367632499527351434</id><published>2011-11-13T17:25:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-11-13T17:54:04.233Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN0817523209540'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Quinta de Porrais Reserva 2005 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipF2_U_XJZs/Tr_9j3vfMOI/AAAAAAAABNQ/l3F90dqGYSw/s1600/porrais+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipF2_U_XJZs/Tr_9j3vfMOI/AAAAAAAABNQ/l3F90dqGYSw/s320/porrais+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A primeira vez que tive contacto com esta marca foi há mais de um bom par de anos, na altura bebi o vinho de entrada de gama e ficou-me na memória. Desde então, nunca mais vi nada à venda até há uns dias onde tropecei neste reserva numa visita acidental a uma garrafeira na foz do Porto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo o produtor, as uvas são provenientes de vinhas velhas com 60 anos a 600 metros de altitude. Feito a partir das castas Rabigato e Códega do Larinho, tendo fermentado e estagiado em barricas novas durante 10 meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo ligeiramente saturado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromático, químico e vegetal. Os aromas químicos a sobreporem-se assumindo um perfil austero. Algum anisado no fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ataque gorduroso como um caldo com massa, chega a ganhar peso, emagrecendo de seguida tornando-se leve e perfil marcadamente vegetal, pedia-se que fosse um pouco mais determinado até porque a acidez ainda tem vida. A presença da madeira é discreta mas está bem integrada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio. Acaba seco, mineral e quente. Parece um tinto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 15€ e está em grande forma. Casa bem com peixe grelhado ou carnes brancas estufadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rKm7HfJj1oA/TsAAkmdRgII/AAAAAAAABNY/dPlWLXtqVd4/s1600/porrais+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rKm7HfJj1oA/TsAAkmdRgII/AAAAAAAABNY/dPlWLXtqVd4/s320/porrais+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The first time I had contact with this brand was more than a couple of years, the wine drunk at the time was the entry level and remained in my memory. Since then, I never saw anything for sale until a few days where I stumbled on this accidentally during a visit to a wine cellar at Oporto's Foz district.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;According to the producer, the grapes come from old vines with 60 years old at an altitude of 600 meters. Made from grape varieties: Rabigato and Códega de Larinho, fermented and aged in new barrels for 10 months.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Yellow slightly saturated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic, chemical and vegetable character. Chemicals aromas overlap assuming an austere profile. Some licorice in the background.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Attack as a greasy soup with noodles, comes to gaining weight, becoming light with a vegetable and herbaceous profile. I would ask for more determination because the acidity is alive. Oak is discreet but is well integrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium, dry, mineral and warm like a red.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 15€ and it is in great shape. Pairs well stuffed &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;white meats or &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;grilled fish.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-3367632499527351434?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/3367632499527351434/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=3367632499527351434' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3367632499527351434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3367632499527351434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/11/quinta-de-porrais-reserva-2005-branco.html' title='Quinta de Porrais Reserva 2005 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipF2_U_XJZs/Tr_9j3vfMOI/AAAAAAAABNQ/l3F90dqGYSw/s72-c/porrais+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-1075061733650724469</id><published>2011-11-06T18:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-11-06T18:15:32.335Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN6333961569694'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aragonez'/><title type='text'>Invisível Aragonez 2010 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RAgN-Jylme0/TrbIvwzJbhI/AAAAAAAABNA/m8ua-rIFHnc/s1600/invi+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RAgN-Jylme0/TrbIvwzJbhI/AAAAAAAABNA/m8ua-rIFHnc/s320/invi+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;E de uma casta tinta se fez um&amp;nbsp; ... branco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor amarelo palha quase aguado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nota-se presença de citrinos, pêssego e alguns aromas tropicais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ataque macio macio (parece um tinto) ligeiramente gorduroso, mas com pouca acidez o que lhe tida a vida e esplendor.

Esperemos que no futuro possamos por a mão a melhores colheitas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio&amp;nbsp; do podutor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wonderfulland.com/ervideira"&gt;http://www.wonderfulland.com/ervideira&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yL-dWb5BCbg/TrbMaIYNQPI/AAAAAAAABNI/-2LcQChKipM/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yL-dWb5BCbg/TrbMaIYNQPI/AAAAAAAABNI/-2LcQChKipM/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;From a red grape variety ... a white is born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow almost watery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Citrus, peach and some tropical aromas.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Palate:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Soft attack (like a red) slightly buttery but with reduced acidity that deletes life and splendor. Dry profile with light body, based on a tropical character that sometimes introduces sweet notes spoiling the wine.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Finish:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Medium, mineral, salty e citric.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Costs 9€. Without failure there is no learning, without learning &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;there is no evolution, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sometimes these projects are halted because no space to mature is provided.

Muita força na boca, ligeiramente adstringente com acidez viva e bem afinada. Fruta vermelha um pouco contraída com madeira bem integrada mas a falar ligeiramente mais alto. Muito abaunillhado no final e tostado da madeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio, quente e incrivelmente macio para tanta barba rija no início.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Tem um pouco de madeira a mais mas aposta num perfil que agrada a toda a gente.

Fermentation and aging in contact with oak for 24 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Ruby color with brownish reflections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic with the traditional character of red fruit and vanilla from oak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;It is a wine with race. Great strength in the mouth, slightly astringent with live acidity. Red fruit hidden under well integrated oak. Ends with vanilla and toasted notes .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium, warm and incredibly soft for such aggressive attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Very oak character (maybe to much), close to some international reds. Still a profile it's easy to enjoy. Pairs with any meat dishes.

É uma pena. O sabor a amoras aparece escondido por debaixo de tanta madeira que lhe subtrai qualquer oportunidade de podermos apreciar o vinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio, ligeiramente especiado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 25€.

Ligeiramente químico e notas a frutos vermelhos estão lá longe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Com corpo médio e algum volume mas a fruta não fala o que é estranho para tanta concentração na cor, agravado com o facto de ser bastante adstringente. Fico a olhar para o copo e penso porque decidem fazer vinhos assim: sem sabor definido, baços e que dilatam excessivamente as papilas gustativas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Continuo a não gostar do perfil que se mantêm ao longo dos anos. Só para apaixonados pela marca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wonderfulland.com/pacheca"&gt;http://www.wonderfulland.com/pacheca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVY2tWhwrl8/Toa_jOqUAaI/AAAAAAAABGI/o2_NVh94moo/s1600/Pacheca+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVY2tWhwrl8/Toa_jOqUAaI/AAAAAAAABGI/o2_NVh94moo/s320/Pacheca+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Last time I taste this wine was the &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2008/11/quinta-da-pacheca.html"&gt;2003&lt;/a&gt; vintage and I was not very impressed. Made from a blend of Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Dark ruby ​​color, let tears dripped into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Blocked my nose. Slightly chemical and red fruit notes are very far away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;With medium body with some volume but the fruit is hidden strange for such opaque color, compounded with the fact that it is very astringent. I'm looking at the glass and I think because they decide to make wines like this: tasteless, dull and excessively dilate my tongue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I still do not like the character maintained over the years.

O Arinto estagia em cubas de inox e o Chardonnay em barricas de carvalho Francês.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha esverdeado, a fugir para o pálido. Lágrima escorrida no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Algum fruto de caroço, algum vegetal. É moderado no nariz e não se descobre grande marca do Chardonnay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Entra muito vivo na boca devido a acidez quase crocante, mas sem grande sabor. É bastaste mineral no início com os alperces, pêssego e restante essência a fruta de caroço escondida, terminado com sensações fumadas. De corpo leve ligeiramente seco e sabor moderado, impressiona mais pela vivacidade inicial do que pelo sabor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Não me agradou particularmente, até porque são duas castas que dão muito boa conta de si quando usadas em conjunto. Se quer do mesmo produtor um Chardonnay viciante, leia a nota de prova &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/07/quinta-da-alorna-reserva-chardonnay.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alorna.pt/"&gt;http://www.alorna.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dj8cqvOdrnE/Tn9kB4FDrzI/AAAAAAAABGA/5EbK3pCF6TU/s1600/alorna+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dj8cqvOdrnE/Tn9kB4FDrzI/AAAAAAAABGA/5EbK3pCF6TU/s320/alorna+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Chardonnay and Arinto, in an area where international varieties grow particular well. The Arinto matures in stainless steel vats and Chardonnay in French oak barrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Medium to pale straw yellow with some greenish reflections. Tears roll down quickly in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Some stone fruit and vegetable hints. It is moderate in the nose and did not find influence of Chardonnay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Very much alive and kicking due to near crisp acidity, but is somewhat flavorless. Mineral at the beginning with apricots, peaches and remaining stone fruit essentially hidden, finish with smoked sensations. Light bodied and slightly dry with moderate flavor, impresses more by the live attack..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I did not like it particularly, specially because these two varieties blend very well together.

É bastante simples até. Fica-se pelos frutos vermelhos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ligeiramente polido na boca com sabor a frutos vermelhos e com madeira bem integrada e alguma baunilha no final.

It's quite simple. Red fruits only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Slightly polished in the mouth felt red fruit and balanced oak with some vanilla at the end.

Estágio em barricas de carvalho Francês durante 6 meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo cítrico ligeiramente saturado. Deixa lágrima escorrida no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromático, notas de citrinos, algum floral assim como notas meladas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Muito mineral e seco no início, mas deixa no fim um concentrado de limão, mel e ervas. O início arrepia pela falta de expressão do sabor e do corpo leve. Parece que temos um vinho apenas com essência, mas depois entusiasma. Tem uma acidez bem afinada, fina e viva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho branco, sem truques, esquisitices, sem aquele padrão indefinido.

I was afraid at start, flavorless, with light body, it seems a wine with essence only, but then brings some excitement, great acidity live and balanced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A white wine, with no tricks, oddities, without indefinite character. A good surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quintadosvales.eu/"&gt;http://www.quintadosvales.eu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-1804697340040174953?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/1804697340040174953/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=1804697340040174953' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/1804697340040174953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/1804697340040174953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/09/marques-dos-vales-2009-branco.html' title='Marquês Dos Vales 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bs1s4YnC6AE/Tn5GyFtWGII/AAAAAAAABFs/mwyVHX8cFnQ/s72-c/Algarvio+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-619139937341761114</id><published>2011-09-24T21:46:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-24T21:46:42.352+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8792204161404'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Carm 2010 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--_oxedoIYwo/Tn46WpZOATI/AAAAAAAABFk/Gp7z6dRXzf0/s1600/carm+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--_oxedoIYwo/Tn46WpZOATI/AAAAAAAABFk/Gp7z6dRXzf0/s320/carm+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend de castas não identificadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt; Cor amarela, pálida. Não deixa lágrima no copo. Estágio em cubas de inox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nota-se tangerina de forma muito fina. Aromático.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho fidalgo, corpo leve com sabor a raspa de citrinos e notas de clementina. Gostei particularmente da forma como sabor está definido, com alguma ponta de vício. A acidez é muito fina mas devia ter mais um pouco de vida. Apesar de tudo tem boa frescura mas é um vinho muito delicado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho que pode mostrar o seu valor se combinado com peixe delicado, como por exemplo linguado, caso contrário vai-se perder totalmente com uma refeição com mais estrutura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carm.pt/"&gt;http://www.carm.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8bqXpnRQctM/Tn49t3WYGhI/AAAAAAAABFo/FYeK8bkHlJ0/s1600/carm+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8bqXpnRQctM/Tn49t3WYGhI/AAAAAAAABFo/FYeK8bkHlJ0/s320/carm+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of not identified varieties.

Notes of tangerine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Noble character, light body taste like citrus peel and tangerine, clementine type. I especially liked the way taste is defined, some point addictive. The acidity is sharp but I would ask for more. Although its fresh but is a very delicate wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It is a wine that can show its value if pairs with delicate fish such as sole, otherwise it will be lost completely with a meal with more structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carm.pt/"&gt;http://www.carm.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-619139937341761114?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/619139937341761114/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=619139937341761114' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/619139937341761114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/619139937341761114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/09/carm-2010-branco.html' title='Carm 2010 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--_oxedoIYwo/Tn46WpZOATI/AAAAAAAABFk/Gp7z6dRXzf0/s72-c/carm+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-6176212482360980516</id><published>2011-09-11T11:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T19:43:24.524+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN5955458851214'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vinho do Porto'/><title type='text'>Dow's Vintage Port 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-92dK_gPwjSs/TmyDOcHJNSI/AAAAAAAABFc/uR5JfDHwIKk/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-92dK_gPwjSs/TmyDOcHJNSI/AAAAAAAABFc/uR5JfDHwIKk/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho o Porto, foi agraciado pela Wine Spectator com 100 pontos. A nota máxima se de acordo com a escala da revista se pode atribuir. Obviamente, o interesse pelo vinho aumentou, assim como a especulação no preço. Antes do prémio, o preço era de 65€, o ano passado 100€ e neste momento ainda se consegue comprar em Portugal a 135€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando comprei este vinho queria tentar entender o que era isso de um vinho ter nota máxima, apesar da pontuação não ser unânime. Outras publicações atribuíram 96 pontos e cá por Portugal, João Paulo Martins deu-lhe 17,5 (na escala de 20).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O momento de prova tecnicamente pode não ser o melhor dada a capacidade de evolução do vinho do Porto, mas por ter sido bebido numa ocasião especial, aliado ao facto de por vezes ocorrerem surpresas desagradáveis por mais cuidados de guarda que se tenha, decidi bebe-lo já.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor violeta para além do opaco. Não se vê o outro lado do copo, nem o fundo do copo. Lágrima escorre lentamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Ligeiramente austero, sente-se ginjas e geleia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato: &lt;br /&gt;Dominado por ginjas, com sabor muito fino e extraordinariamente definido, incrivelmente fresco, tem uma sensação de frescura que perdura até porque não tem um perfil muito doce e concentrado ficando leve na boca. Para além das ginjas, nota-se algum licor disfarçado e por debaixo andam lá amoras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo, mas não impressiona pelo impacto, impressiona pela finura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Eu estava à espera de outra coisa. Por 100 pontos não queria a perfeição, queria algo que me surpreendesse e este não o conseguiu. Quando o estava a beber pareceu-me mais próximo de um L.B.V. muito evoluído do que um Vintage. Mesmo assim vale pela incrível leveza, delicadeza e definição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gV4VQ-CNXyQ/TmyK66j4njI/AAAAAAAABFg/RpgUV_UUI78/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gV4VQ-CNXyQ/TmyK66j4njI/AAAAAAAABFg/RpgUV_UUI78/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This Port wine, was honored by Wine Spectator with 100 points. The highest score in accordance with the scale of the magazine that can be attributed. Obviously it increased the interest as well price speculation. Before the award, the price was 65€, last year reached 100€ and now you still can buy it in Portugal for 135 €.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I bought this wine I had the objective what makes a perfect wine, despite the scores are not unanimous. Other publications awarded it with 96 points and here in Portugal, João Paulo Martins gave it 17,5 (on a scale of 20).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment of truth may not technically be the best given the evolutionary capacity of port, but this bottle was drunk on a special occasion and sometimes occurs some unpleasant surprises 20 years after. Thus I decided to drink it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Opaque purple color. I do not see the other side or the bottom of the glass. Tears roll down slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Slightly austere, feels sour cherries and jam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dominated by sour cherries, with very fine flavor and extraordinarily defined, incredibly fresh, has a sense of freshness that lasts because it not very sweet and concentrated character. In addition to the cherries, there is some undercover licorice and in the last layer blackberries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long, impresses with finesse, rather than impact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I was wishing for something else. For 100 points I did not want perfection, I wanted something that surprised me and it did not succeed. When I was drinking it seemed closer to a highly evolved L.B.V. than a Vintage. Still it's worth for the incredible lightness, delicacy and definition.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-6176212482360980516?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/6176212482360980516/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=6176212482360980516' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6176212482360980516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6176212482360980516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/09/dows-vintage-port-2007.html' title='Dow&apos;s Vintage Port 2007'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-92dK_gPwjSs/TmyDOcHJNSI/AAAAAAAABFc/uR5JfDHwIKk/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-5229098309921939003</id><published>2011-09-11T10:37:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T10:37:35.934+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8236065390172'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vinho do Porto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fortificado'/><title type='text'>Warre's Otima 10 Years Old Tawny</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8Y3qwLpKQE/TmtSEUJX3fI/AAAAAAAABFU/3nud6V1Gj1I/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8Y3qwLpKQE/TmtSEUJX3fI/AAAAAAAABFU/3nud6V1Gj1I/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;O vinho do Porto tem passado pela introdução de novos produtos com o objectivo de atrair consumidores mais jovens e aumentar o consumo no verão não muito dada à ingestão deste tipo de vinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Otima é um vinho que de acordo com o produtor deve ser bebido muito frio. Algum do material promocional mostram a garrafa do vinho dentro de um balde de gelo. Na garrafa está inscrito - "Serve Chilled".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É curioso que para os Ingleses Chilled, não significa muito frio, entenda-se perto dos 5ºC (para mim dentro de um balde de gelo como o produtor anuncia, a temperatura é capaz de andar entre os 1 a 2 ºC). Para muitos de voz isto pode ser uma preciosidade, mas no mundo empresarial estas questões do significado do contexto são levadas muito a &lt;a href="http://ultrabpm.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/astc-adaptive-support-for-team-collaboration/"&gt;sério&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decidido a ver então o que valia beber um vinho do Porto frio, decidi-me a seguir os conselhos do Produtor e coloquei o vinho a uma temperatura perto dos 7ºC e parti para a aventura sem preconceitos. Como não gostei do resultado deixei a temperatura aumentar lá para os 16ºC. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor âmbar alaranjada próxima de vinho Madeira. Lágrima cola-se ao copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;7ºC&lt;br /&gt;No nariz não existe muito desenvolvimento. Alguma geleia e raspa de laranja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16ºC&lt;br /&gt;Mantêm-se os mesmos aromas, mas agora tudo aparece muito mais composto e nota-se ainda frutos secos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;7ºC&lt;br /&gt;Muito compacto e constante, mas não se consegue tirar nada de extraordinário nota-se a presença de geleia. Em alguns momentos pensei que estava a beber um Martini. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16ºC&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho do Porto meio doce e ligeiro mas com acidez bem viva. Começa seco e algo tímido, depois liberta-se. Fina geleia, raspa de laranja, chocolate no céu da boca, termina com sabor intenso a frutos secos: nozes, amêndoas e amêndoa mastigada com pele. Fantástico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Meia garrafa custa 13€. Pode ser pela propaganda que leve outros consumidores a apreciar mais vinho do Porto até porque tem mais glamour do que outras bebidas, mas frio e a este preço, as pessoas pensam que se lhes está a enfiar um barrete. Por isso pegue na garrafa, meta-a no frigorífico uma hora antes e beber e deixe envolver-se.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B-Nlh6zSU68/Tmx81ZrS-8I/AAAAAAAABFY/SOX4AKP3aIY/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B-Nlh6zSU68/Tmx81ZrS-8I/AAAAAAAABFY/SOX4AKP3aIY/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;Port started a journey to introduce new products aimed to attract younger consumers and increase consumption in the summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otima is a wine that according to the producer should be drunk very cold. Some of the promotional material shows the bottle of wine in a ice bucket. In the bottle is inscribed - "Serve Chilled".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is curious that for the British chilled, does not mean cold, I mean close to 5º C (to me in ice bucket as the producer shows in some promotional material the temperature is able to reach between 1- 2° C). For some people this can be a semantic discussion, but in the business world these questions around context are taken very &lt;a href="http://ultrabpm.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/astc-adaptive-support-for-team-collaboration/"&gt;seriously&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was determined to follow the advice of producer and put the wine at a temperature close to 7° C and start the adventure without prejudice. As I did not like the result I let the temperature to raise up to 16º C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Amber orange looks like Madeira wine. Tear glue to the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;7 ° C&lt;br /&gt;On the nose there is not much development. Some orange jelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16° C&lt;br /&gt;Remain the same aroma, but now it appears much more developed and nuts hints are added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;7° C&lt;br /&gt;Light and medium sweet, very compact and constant, but you can not take anything extraordinary some jelly and that's it. It resembles Martini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16° C&lt;br /&gt;Now you can feel live acidity. It starts dry and shy, then set it free. Thin orange jelly, some chocolate dust, ends with intense flavor of dried fruits: nuts, almonds and almond skin chewed. Fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Half bottle costs 13€. Advertising can lead other consumers to appreciate more port wine because it still have more glamor than other drinks, but served chilled at this price, people think that they are being fooled. Thus, pick up the bottle, put it in the refrigerator an hour before drink, and go for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-5229098309921939003?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/5229098309921939003/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=5229098309921939003' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/5229098309921939003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/5229098309921939003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/09/warres-otima-10-years-old-tawny.html' title='Warre&apos;s Otima 10 Years Old Tawny'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b8Y3qwLpKQE/TmtSEUJX3fI/AAAAAAAABFU/3nud6V1Gj1I/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-4529863581557182660</id><published>2011-09-10T09:42:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-10T09:43:00.598+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN4432639889873'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>El Cerrillo 2010 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mwafsizpt0s/TmseaKZuYlI/AAAAAAAABFM/anTp1fENIC8/s1600/Chile+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mwafsizpt0s/TmseaKZuYlI/AAAAAAAABFM/anTp1fENIC8/s320/Chile+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend de Chardonnay e Semilion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo, ligeiramente saturado.

Finish is interesting: spicy finish seems nutmeg, with hints of melon meaning we are feeling the transition to the Semilion. Finish is impressive for a young wine, and even have some balsamic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 3,5€.

Os citrinos dominam de seguida a boca sentido-se a meloa por debaixo. Termina ligeiramente mineral mas cresce e fica gordo com grande impacto até. Termina muito cítrico (lima) e prolonga-se num final de boca interessante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Devo dizer que tinha receio do que sairia daqui porque normalmente não  me identifico muito com o perfil dos vinhos do enólogo Paulo Laureano, contudo este, por 13€ revelou-se uma escolha acertada. É um branco que não tem medo de casar com pratos com mais substância.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.torredofrade.pt/home"&gt;http://www.torredofrade.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dCNs_qRAvMc/TmD_d_RSsOI/AAAAAAAABFA/zl52JvGxwUk/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dCNs_qRAvMc/TmD_d_RSsOI/AAAAAAAABFA/zl52JvGxwUk/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Made fromViognier, aged 5 months in French oak barrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Greenish, slightly saturated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Melon combined with notes of lime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry and light, with lively acidity, attack with a a blend of cantaloupe melon and citrus.

Não deixa lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Citrinos e fruta de caroço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho que prima pelo equilíbrio. É gordo e volumoso na boca, com uma acidez viva. Sabor maioritariamente cítrico com fruta de caroço no fim e algumas notas de madeira tudo muito bem entrosado. Chega a ser ligeiramente viciante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Pode ser um vinho de receita fácil e em que tudo está sítio correcto, mas dá prazer, não tem defeitos e feitios. Casa melhor com um bacalhau assado e não se acanha carnes vermelhas. Custa 13€. Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-826mECaLKuk/TlX8CWMlLpI/AAAAAAAABEw/kxpitqxhlqE/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-826mECaLKuk/TlX8CWMlLpI/AAAAAAAABEw/kxpitqxhlqE/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Chardonnay and Arinto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow. Do not tear leaves into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Citrus and stone fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;It is very balanced wine. It is fat and big in the mouth with a lively acidity. Mostly citrus flavor with stone fruit in the end blended with fine oak notes. The more you drink the more you get addicted to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It can be an easy recipe wine and everything is in the right place, but it provides pleasure, and it has no defects or particular character. Pairs better with grilled cod or red meat. It costs 13€.

Diz a tradição que vinho denominado por Retsina tem origem no período de expansão da nação Grega no mundo, além de ter um sabor muito característico, porque de acordo com o método produtivo é utilizada resina de pinheiro que lhe dá o aroma e sabor pelo qual é conhecido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha, com alguma saturação. Não deixa lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aqui começa a experiência, tem um odor moderado a erva aromática seca, muito diferente de qualquer vinho que se possa ter provado, mesmo aqueles que são predominantemente florais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;A descoberta de novas experiências continua. Ataque com sabor a chã de erva silvestre. Fiquei com dúvidas se estava a beber um vinho ou um chã fresco de origem japonesa. É seco e leve mas o sabor não entusiasma mesmo nada. Não tem acidez, e termina ligeiramente mentolado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;O vinho pode estar de acordo com os pergaminhos da castas utilizadas e do restante método produtivo, mas é um vinho difícil de gostar. Eu detestei e nunca mais quero ouvir falar de vinho com adição de resina. Custa 3,00€. Não compre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wCzPKEnRD9g/TjWhHbuHCTI/AAAAAAAABCQ/UbCpYCMd1yo/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wCzPKEnRD9g/TjWhHbuHCTI/AAAAAAAABCQ/UbCpYCMd1yo/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The search for new experiences, led me to purchase this Greek wine. Tradition impose this wine to be called Retsina with origins during the expansion of the Greek nation before the Romans, with a very distinctive flavor, because according to the production method is used pine resin that gives the aroma and flavor for which it is known. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Saturated straw yellow. Do not leaves tear into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Here begins the experience, has a moderate aroma of dry herb very different from any wine that I have tasted, even those that are predominantly floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;The discovery continues. Attack with wild herb tea. I was doubtful if I was drinking a wine or a fresh tea from Japan. It is dry and mild but the taste does it's not exciting. It has flabby acidity, and a slightly minty finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;This wine can be aligned with the wine varieties and methods used, but it is difficult to enjoy it. I hated and never want to hear about wine with resin addition. It costs 3 €.

Não deixa lágrima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz muito interessante: mistura de óleo floral, com notas cítricas e maçã madura. Aromático e austero com alguns aromas químicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Muito leve e seco, com acidez micro crocante - que delícia. Intensidade de sabor não impressiona, nota-se presença de maça startking e sabores limonados e não tem a banha típica dos Franceses. O Vinho é sensível à temperatura e por conseguinte deixe-o acima dos 10ºC se quer desfrutar o que bebe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Case o vinho com pratos leves.Custa 8€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mcguiganwines.com.au/"&gt;http://www.mcguiganwines.com.au/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UUVGW3ZpUk0/Tg7Vg7h1UmI/AAAAAAAABB4/l0rBMSTB3Go/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UUVGW3ZpUk0/Tg7Vg7h1UmI/AAAAAAAABB4/l0rBMSTB3Go/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Back to Pinot Gris, but this time Australian, where it assumes the name of Pinot Grigio used to dry wine making and screw cap instead of the traditional cork of the French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow almost translucent. Leaves no tear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Very light and dry with micro crisp acidity - what a delight. Taste intensity is not impressive, startking apple and citric notes and has no fat, typical of the French. The wine is temperature sensitive and therefore leave it up to 10 º C if you want to enjoy the drinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Pair with light meals.

De acordo com o produtor estagia entre 3 a 10 meses em cubas de aço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha pálido. Deixa lágrima gelatinosa no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático, tem um aroma intenso a maracujá maduro e algum floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Muito seco e leve sabe a maracujá ácido que aparece concentrado no início e depois se vai desvanecendo lentamente.

Let jelly tears in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very aromatic, has intense aroma of ripe passion fruit and some floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Very dry and light with a concentrated acid passion fruit attack and then goes slowly fading. However, it is a fresh wine with a lively acidity that provides structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;This is a wine not to be taken seriously.

Por este motivo tenho na minha memória um conjunto se sabores e de aromas biológicos que me ajudam por vezes a identificar o que está dentro das garrafas de vinho.&lt;br /&gt;Quando era um miúdo tinha por hábito passear entre as videiras e provar uvas que ainda não estavam maduras que possuem um sabor característico&amp;nbsp; que pude recordar neste vinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir da casta Furmint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha, pálido. Não deixa lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Muito curto no nariz. Algum fruto de caroço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Seco com acidez muito viva e corpo leve. Entrada com frutos maduros - parece lichia depois entra um sabor a uva  branca pouco madura que se mantém e não é uma sensação muito agradável. Enjeita balsâmico no final e termina mineral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;O contacto com novas castas é sempre uma experiência que vale a pena, mas este vinho com o contacto a uva pouco madura deita abaixo as expectativas. Felizmente há quem faça muito melhor por 6,00€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Site do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pajzos-megyer.com/"&gt;http://www.pajzos-megyer.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;I was lucky to be able to have contact with tillage for a long time. For this reason I have in my memory a set of organic aromas and flavors that help me sometimes to identify what's inside the bottles of wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a kid had a habit of walking side by side the vines and grab my hands with grapes that were not yet ripe. This wine taste to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from Furmint wine variety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow, pale. Do not tear leaves into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very short. Some stone fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry with lively acidity and light body. Attack with ripe fruit - litchi seems to me then gets a taste of white grape that is not ripe and is not a very pleasant sensation. Ends balsamic and mineral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Contact with new grape varieties is always a worthwhile experience, but this wine resembles the days I ate non ripe grapes and it's below my expectations. Fortunately there are some who do much better for 6.00€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pajzos-megyer.com/"&gt;http://www.pajzos-megyer.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-8967771147130431543?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/8967771147130431543/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=8967771147130431543' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/8967771147130431543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/8967771147130431543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/06/chateau-megyer-tokaji-furmint-2008.html' title='Chateau Megyer Tokaji Furmint 2008 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MMnQuU7rwI4/TfJahDTZ0CI/AAAAAAAABBo/a5VnH2DgdTU/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-7436072663137115260</id><published>2011-06-03T18:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-03T18:05:47.945+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='França'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8637881712245'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alsace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pinot Gris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Veuve Roth Pinot Gris 2005 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-By2D7gABRzY/TekO-L07v_I/AAAAAAAABBg/egHNxBtbYho/s1600/verve+f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-By2D7gABRzY/TekO-L07v_I/AAAAAAAABBg/egHNxBtbYho/s320/verve+f.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho monocasta feito a partir de Pinot Gris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência: &lt;br /&gt;Cor amarela dourada, ligeiramente saturada. Não deixa muita lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Moderadamente austero no nariz. Notas de doce de fruta de polpa branca cozida e algum floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Na boca é gordurento até com alguma opulência de sabor resultado contudo leve. Este vinho é fino de estrutura mas o sabor é como o toucinho. Que contradição. No início aparece um pouco de rebuçado com ervas, passando pela sensação que estamos a comer maça cozida, mas depois o vinho desprende-se e ganha ligeiro balsâmico. A acidez é que podia estar muito melhor afinada. É muito fina tal como corrente eléctrica de sessão de fisioterapia, mas não chega para dar vida ao vinho. É pena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Gostei da entrada inicial e da experiência dos sabores, mas a acidez mata o vinho que necessitava de mais vida. Há que goste de vinhos assim e ultimamente têm aparecido no mercado vinhos brancos Portugueses de 2009 com esta matriz, mas eu não sou muito adepto desta abordagem. Custa 6€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AOdsgKyARls/TekSPjfQMNI/AAAAAAAABBk/wcWtHm064to/s1600/verve+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AOdsgKyARls/TekSPjfQMNI/AAAAAAAABBk/wcWtHm064to/s320/verve+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Single variety wine made from Pinot Gris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Golden yellow color, slightly saturated. Do not leave many tears in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Slightly austere on the nose. Notes white pulp stewed fruit and some floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Buttery even with some flavor opulence yet incredibly light body. This wine has fine structure but the taste is like bacon. What a contradiction. At first felt candy with a hint of herbs, next comes stewed apple earns slightly balsamic. Acidity is that it could be much better. Is very thin like electrical current used in a session physiotherapy, but it's not enough bring the wine to life. Pity for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Liked the initial attack, but the acidity kills the wine. If you prefer this kind of thin acidity maybe you can enjoy it. Recently appeared on the market in 2009 Portuguese white wines with this pattern, but I don't like very much. Costs 6 €.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-7436072663137115260?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/7436072663137115260/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=7436072663137115260' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7436072663137115260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7436072663137115260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/06/veuve-roth-pinot-gris-2005-branco.html' title='Veuve Roth Pinot Gris 2005 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-By2D7gABRzY/TekO-L07v_I/AAAAAAAABBg/egHNxBtbYho/s72-c/verve+f.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-4095654800446447024</id><published>2011-05-29T15:23:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-03T18:09:59.272+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='França'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alsace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Riesling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8670837732829'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Hugel Riesling 2008 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aF2IxlJ7NTo/TeJSTreq4wI/AAAAAAAABBY/aNQRb9Xs25U/s1600/h+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aF2IxlJ7NTo/TeJSTreq4wI/AAAAAAAABBY/aNQRb9Xs25U/s320/h+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monocasta feito a partir de Riesling, envelhece em garrafa pelo menos um ano antes de ser libertado para o mercado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor pálida esverdeada. Não deixa lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderado no nariz. Fruto de caroço, um pequeno floral fino no fundo, algum citrino e alguma maça verde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Leve e seco, início com sabor a fruto de caroço: alperce e depois entra em redução para o sabor a limão misturado com maça. Os sabores estão bem definidos, é viciante. Termina com sabor a limão tal como colocamos na língua, mas sem a acidez, sente-se o sumo misturado com salitre. Este final é espantoso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio, mas com o sabor a agarrar-se à língua. Fantástico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um super Riesling por apenas 12€ em Portugal. Complexo, fresco, saboroso, viciante e maravilhoso. Acompanhou um garoupa na perfeição mas casa muito bem com marisco. Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hugel.com/"&gt;http://www.hugel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--vITwfOFwVQ/TeJU7k2Pt4I/AAAAAAAABBc/EAzBymgUIh4/s1600/h+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--vITwfOFwVQ/TeJU7k2Pt4I/AAAAAAAABBc/EAzBymgUIh4/s320/h+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Single vine variety made from Riesling, aging in the bottle at least a year before being released to the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Pale green. Do not leaves tear in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderate in the nose. Stone fruit, a little thin layer of floral , some citrus and some green apple hints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Light and dry, start with a fruity apricot flavor&amp;nbsp; and then goes&amp;nbsp; for citrus blended with apple. The flavors are well defined, it is addictive. Ends with lemon flavor like we lick a lemon but without the acidity, it's possible to imagine juice mixed with saltpeter. This finish is amazing.&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium, but with the flavor glued to out tongue. Fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A super Riesling for only 12 € in Portugal. Complex, fresh, tasty, addictive and wonderful. Paired in perfection with grouper goes well with shellfish.

A tosta da madeira é diferente e isso marca o vinho. Há frutos vermelhos com aquele sabor que agrada a qualquer um. Tem taninos felpudos e uma acidez um pouco elevada.

Cítrico no nariz . Lágrima escorre lentamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho estruturado e com muitas camadas. Entrada amadeirada seguida de sensações cítricas e algum melado. É seco e tem corpo médio, tem uma acidez correta, viva, liberta sensações balsâmicas no final com notas de especiaria. Apesar de ter 14% não satura nem é pesado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final: &lt;br /&gt;Evaporado e longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conslusão:&lt;br /&gt;Tem perfil ligeiramente austero, mas resulta ser muito desdobrado com final em crescendo. Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nota: Garrafa oferecida pelo produtor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vFl9Oe6W4yU/TdjNvHLFWSI/AAAAAAAABA8/IfdwLq8p-Q8/s1600/Vback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vFl9Oe6W4yU/TdjNvHLFWSI/AAAAAAAABA8/IfdwLq8p-Q8/s320/Vback.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caves Transmontanas is responsible for the production of this wine, in my opinion is delivering serious sparkling wines like &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/01/vertice-millesime-2005-espumante.html"&gt;Vertice&lt;/a&gt; and now is gaining consistency in the production of table wines like this white with the same name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Gouveio and Viosinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Golden color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderate. Is citric. Tear runs slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;It is a structured wine with many layers. Attack with oak character followed by citrus notes and some honey notes. It is dry and has medium body, acidity is very balanced, live, freeing balsamic sensations at the end with notes of spice. Despite having 14% does saturate and it's not heavy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Evaporated and long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Profile is slightly austere, but proves to be layered with a lovely finish. Recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: Bottle offered by the producer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-7343574712228065519?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/7343574712228065519/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=7343574712228065519' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7343574712228065519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7343574712228065519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/05/vertice-grande-reserva-2009-branco.html' title='Vertice grande Reserva 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HGVylhFBjYc/TdjK1F6sYWI/AAAAAAAABA4/TmC7dUASOyo/s72-c/Vfront.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-4950922558227973075</id><published>2011-05-22T09:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-22T09:23:27.663+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alvarinho'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vinho Verde'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8622891040082'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Soalheiro Alvarinho 2010 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IM6CzSc5pbQ/TdjB218GX8I/AAAAAAAABAw/vNGTxejFk4I/s1600/Sfront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IM6CzSc5pbQ/TdjB218GX8I/AAAAAAAABAw/vNGTxejFk4I/s320/Sfront.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Ano após ano o Soalheiro tem mantido consistência e um patamar muito elevado ao nível da relação qualidade preço. Descobrir este vinho é contactar com o melhor do que se faz com a casta Alvarinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha, ligeiramente saturada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Muito aromático. Cheiro de manga extremamente bem definida quase da vontade de comer. Lima no fundo . Muito sugestivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Mais tropical do que nunca. Perdeu um pouco da acidez crocante mas continua super viva. Corpo leve e meio seco, saboroso e viciante. Domina o sabor a lima no início aparecendo depois a manga. Acaba em crescendo e ganha muito volume na boca. Quando se aproxima o copo da boca já se sente o sabor a chegar a língua. Fantástico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e tenso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 9€. Acompanha bem marisco e peixes grelhados delicados. Por este preço é quase impossível encontrar um vinho que dê tanto prazer. Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outras colheitas:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/06/soalheiro-alvarinho-2008.html"&gt;2008&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;; &amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/02/soalheiro-2009-branco.html"&gt;2009&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.soalheiro.com/"&gt;http://www.soalheiro.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOGR3FmpGBY/TdjFibyOusI/AAAAAAAABA0/lxkSdGIwwt0/s1600/sback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOGR3FmpGBY/TdjFibyOusI/AAAAAAAABA0/lxkSdGIwwt0/s320/sback.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Year after year the consistency of this wine maintains a very high threshold in terms of value for money. Discovering this wine is experiencing with the best of what can be made with Alvarinho grape variety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow, slightly saturated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very aromatic. Lot's of Mango extremely well defined. Lime in the background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;More tropical than ever. Lost a little crisp acidity but it's still very alive. Light body and off dry, tasty and addictive. Lime flavor dominates letting the mango makes it's entrance later. It grows and gain&amp;nbsp; volume in the mouth. When you approach the cup already feels the mango sensation. Fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long and tense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 9€ . It pairs with seafood and delicate grilled fish. For this price is almost impossible to find a wine that gives so much pleasure.

Tear trickles slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Quite aromatic, in from oak and vanilla in the background red fruits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry and berries with well integrated oak. Full medium body, bulky in the mouth. Soft but firm tannins provide structure. Thin, lively acidity. It ends with a pint of fruit jam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A red wine that does not saturate.

Segundo o produtor fermentou e estagiou em barricas de carvalho Francês novas durante 14 meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo ligeiramente saturada. Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nota-se presença de frutos de verão maduros, sugestivo, mas moderado.&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ataque a fruta madura: ananás e damasco com algum poder, só que o sabor contrai-se e passa rapidamente a mineral. A acidez é fina mas precisava de ser vais vigorosa. De corpo leve termina com ligeiro balsâmico voltando a sensação a fruta madura que se agarra ao goto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e saboroso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Não gostei da bipolaridade do sabor. Precisa de mais acidez para lhe dar vida e estrutura. Acompanha bem peixe gordo assado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nota: Amostra oferecida pelo produtor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G83M_8fdYcM/TcV80847PYI/AAAAAAAABAc/-HWBv0a07jc/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G83M_8fdYcM/TcV80847PYI/AAAAAAAABAc/-HWBv0a07jc/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Two years passed from a great tasting experience of the &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/05/quanta-terra-grande-reserva-2005.html"&gt;red&lt;/a&gt; from the same producer. Now it's time to put our hands on the white.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from the grape varieties Gouveio and Viosinho. According to producer fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Yellow slightly saturated. Tear trickles slowly into the glass&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Ripe summer fruits, suggestive, but moderate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Summer ripe fruit attack, pineapple and apricot with some power, but the flavor dissipates and switch to mineral. The acidity needed to be much more live. Lightweight body ends with a slight balsamic and the ripe fruit sensation returns and glues to our throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I did not like the bipolarity (ripe fruit / mineral sensation). Need more acidity to bring life and structure. It goes well with fatty fish in the oven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: The sample offered by the producer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-7221817845668525019?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/7221817845668525019/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=7221817845668525019' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7221817845668525019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7221817845668525019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/05/quanta-terra-grande-reserva-2009-branco.html' title='Quanta Terra Grande Reserva 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TgXhOH9e0M0/TcV6Pu_5K1I/AAAAAAAABAU/PCVw1plmw0M/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-8904168315336173106</id><published>2011-04-30T16:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-30T16:15:29.761+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN1829067002289'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madeira'/><title type='text'>Blandy's Alvada Madeira 5 anos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZG00DVq2pak/Tbwh1qDY0BI/AAAAAAAABAQ/m1TV7DB4Nf4/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZG00DVq2pak/Tbwh1qDY0BI/AAAAAAAABAQ/m1TV7DB4Nf4/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De passagem pela ilha da Madeira foi-me criado o desafio por alguns membros do &lt;a href="http://portuguesewinebloggers.blogspot.com/"&gt;Portuguese Wine Bloggers&lt;/a&gt; para provar esta nova proposta da Blandy's. Os locais sempre disseram que madeira com 5 anos não é um verdadeiro Madeira, para se começar a sentir a alma de vinho Madeira é preciso dar o salto para 10 anos de envelhecimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend&amp;nbsp; de Malvasia e Bual, foi a inovação que produtor introduziu a este produto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Castanha, ligeiramente saturada. Lágrima escorre rápidamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Muito volátil no nariz, algum mel e principalmente especiaria (canela). Não impressiona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Carregado de álcool, um exagero. Corpo leve, sabe a mel velho, algum fruto seco e termina especiado. É doce, mas o sabor não impressiona porque não tem impacto nem definição na boca. Não tem a estrutura, opulência e complexidade típica de um vinho Madeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo, mas muito arrastado pela presença do álcool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Uma garrafa custa 8,5€. Para mim é caro pelo que oferece. É um vinho Madeira? Pelo rótulo certamente que sim, mas o conteúdo está mais próximo apenas de um vinho doce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blandys.com/"&gt;http://www.blandys.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nota: Amostra oferecida pelo produtor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;On a business trip to Madeira I was challenged by some members of the &lt;a href="http://portuguesewinebloggers.blogspot.com/"&gt;Portuguese Wine Bloggers&lt;/a&gt; to taste this new proposal from Blandy's. The locals have always said that&amp;nbsp; five years old is not a true Madeira wine, to feel the soul of it is necessary to start with minimum 10 years of age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Malmsey and Bual, this is the innovation that was introduced to this product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Brown, slightly saturated. Tear runs down quickly in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very volatile on the nose, some honey and spice (cinnamon). Not very impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Loaded with alcohol, an exaggeration. Light body, tastes to aged honey, some dried fruit with a spicy finish. It is sweet but the taste is not impressive because it has no impact or definition in the mouth. It lacks the structure, complexity and opulence of a typical Madeira wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long, due to alcohol presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A bottle costs 8.5€. For me it's expensive for what it offers. Is this a Madeira wine? On the label it certainly is, but the content is closer to just a sweet wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's Web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blandys.com/"&gt;http://www.blandys.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: Sample offered by the producer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-8904168315336173106?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/8904168315336173106/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=8904168315336173106' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/8904168315336173106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/8904168315336173106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/04/blandys-alvada-madeira-5-anos.html' title='Blandy&apos;s Alvada Madeira 5 anos'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZG00DVq2pak/Tbwh1qDY0BI/AAAAAAAABAQ/m1TV7DB4Nf4/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-3322397430155805039</id><published>2011-04-23T12:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T12:16:50.872+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN5288957216407'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Pêra Manca Branco 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l5So5NHinlI/TbKsaAWQN_I/AAAAAAAABAI/b3bakcxB0AE/s1600/pera+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l5So5NHinlI/TbKsaAWQN_I/AAAAAAAABAI/b3bakcxB0AE/s320/pera+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho era um ícone dos vinhos brancos Portugueses. A última vez que o bebi foi há aproximadamente 5 anos, numa festa de aniversário onde vieram diretamente de propósito do produtor 3 garrafas de anos diferentes. Recordo-me que eram vinhos tensos, muito estruturados, cheios, gordos e enrolados em balsâmico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muitos anos passaram e tem-se ouvido que o Pêra Manca mudou de perfil e perdeu as suas propriedades, tendo ficado pior, daí o desafio de revisitar este vinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend das castas Arinto e Antão Vaz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor amarelo palha com reflexos esverdeados. Não deixa lágrima no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz pouco dialogante algum fruto de caroço alguns aromas cítricos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;É seco na boca . Leve com ataque cítrico e mineral a algum fruto de caroço que depois se impõe na boca. Tudo tem pouca expressão, parece um vinho jovem. A acidez é fina mas não chega para lhe dar vida e estrutura. Termina com ligeira sensação tostada e liberta ligeiro balsâmico. Falta-lhe impacto, falta-lhe força, falta-lhe crescendo! É pena porque os sabores estão bem definidos. Como queria que este vinho enchesse a boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 30€! Perdeu toda a sua glória e a vergonha de pedir tanto dinheiro para oferecer tão pouco. Uma desilusão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cartuxa.pt/"&gt;http://www.cartuxa.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-clPtTwxOrJ0/TbKszTNRdnI/AAAAAAAABAM/99jNKDZoBMA/s1600/pera+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-clPtTwxOrJ0/TbKszTNRdnI/AAAAAAAABAM/99jNKDZoBMA/s320/pera+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This wine was an icon of Portuguese wines. The last time I drank was about 5 years ago, at a birthday party where it came directly from the producer's lodge: three bottles of different vintages. I remember those wines were tense, very structured, filled with fat and wrapped in balsamic endless sensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years passed and I has heard that the Pêra Manca changed it's character and lost it's properties and has gotten worse, hence the challenge to revisit this wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of varieties Antão Vaz and Arinto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow color with green highlights. Do not leaves tear into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Very moderate aroma: stone fruit and citrus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate: &lt;br /&gt;It's dry in the mouth. Starts with an citrus attack followed by stone fruit and some mineral intensity. Stone fruit later imposes by itself. Everything has little expression, like a young wine. The acidity is fine but not enough to give life and structure. It ends with a slightly toasted feeling and balsamic sensation. It lacks impact, it lacks strength, he lacks volume! It is a pity because the flavors are well defined. How I wish that this wine fills the mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 30€! Lost all its glory and shame of asking for so much money to offer so little.

Lágrima escorre rápidamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Cheira a árvores com as folhas a despontar na primavera, cheira a pólen. É muito aromático. Alguma baunilha no fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho quente, poderoso apesar de ter corpo médio, aquece por força do álcool que podia ser mais discreto. Adstringente talvez demais. Sabe a frutos vermelhos com predominância para a framboesa e a bagas, mas podia ser mais vida, não pela acidez que é correcta mas pedia-se mais volume. Termina ligeiramente abaunilhado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Pode ser agrade a quem quer um tinto para beber à lareira no inverno mas necessita de ser dominado. Muito álcool, precisava de ser mais macio e ter mais impacto de boca.

Tear runs down quickly in the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;It's like being under the trees with the leaves emerging in spring time, smell like pollen. It is very aromatic. Some vanilla in the background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;This wine is hot, despite it's medium body it's powerful, real warms our body, alcohol could be more discreet. Maybe too astringent. Taste to red fruits: berries and raspberry, but could have more life, acidity is correct, but lacks volume. Ends with smooth vanilla hints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It can be pleasing to anyone who wants to drink a red wine near the fireplace in winter but needs to be improved. Too much alcohol, needed to be softer and have more impact in the mouth.

Consequentemente evaporou-se do mercado. Feito a partir das seguintes castas:  Viosinho, Malvasia Fina e      Fernão Pires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha, ligeiramente saturado. Lágrima escorre rapidamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderado no nariz. Predominantemente floral, com alguns vestigios de folhas e alguma fruta escondida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Corpo leve e acidez muito bem afinada conferindo-lhe vivacidade na boca. Sabe a frutos estivais maduros no início, ganha alguma intensidade floral, passa por notas de anis e termina intensamente mineral, salgado até. Não senti grande entusiasmo na boca porque os sabores não são bem definidos, são verdadeiramente misturados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 6,5€. A notoriedade das medalhas despertam o interesse e foi isso que me levou a beber vinho, mas não gostei muito do resultado final. Parece que os sabores foram processados numa misturadora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adegavilareal.com/"&gt;http://www.adegavilareal.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P8BZ1VWrQXc/TaBxdn3NywI/AAAAAAAAA_8/Cy97HYnwC30/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P8BZ1VWrQXc/TaBxdn3NywI/AAAAAAAAA_8/Cy97HYnwC30/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The 2007 vintage was famous for winning a gold medal as the best white wine of the World at Brussels contest in 2009. Consequently the market drunk all the available bottles. Made from the following varieties: Viosinho, Malvasia Fina and Fernão Pires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Straw yellow, slightly saturated. Tear runs down quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderate. Predominantly floral, with some traces of leaves and some hiding fruit .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Light body and acidity very finely tuned giving it a sparkle in the mouth. Tastes ripe summer fruit, following some floral notes, goes through anise hints and ends intensely mineral, even salty. I felt no great enthusiasm in the mouth because the flavors are not well defined, are truly mixed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conslusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 6.5€. The notoriety provides by the medals maked me to taste the wine, but I did not like the outcome. Turns out the flavors were processed in a blender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's Web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adegavilareal.com/"&gt;http://www.adegavilareal.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-4315663483603859648?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/4315663483603859648/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=4315663483603859648' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/4315663483603859648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/4315663483603859648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/04/adega-de-vila-real-grande-reserva-2009.html' title='Adega de Vila Real Grande Reserva 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rtLdwDHOUsE/TaBtX9VCBJI/AAAAAAAAA_4/D_Axod5dsC0/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-6001541697864612584</id><published>2011-04-09T13:16:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-09T13:17:27.697+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malvasia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madeira'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN1854801955088'/><title type='text'>Blandy's Malvasia 15 anos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sBSTNQH8_j0/TaBInWmrINI/AAAAAAAAA_w/FSYsz3rf5oI/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sBSTNQH8_j0/TaBInWmrINI/AAAAAAAAA_w/FSYsz3rf5oI/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de Malvasia, a casta mais doce utilizada no leque para fazer vinhos Madeira. Envelhecido 15 anos em cascos de carvalho Americano no sistema Canteiro, onde a fonte de blend é transferida ao longo do ciclo de envelhecimento do topo do armazém onde a temperatura é mais quente para as zonas inferiores onde a temperatura é mais fria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Âmbar acastanhado, ligeiramente saturado, lágrima escorre lentamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático.

Bastante aromático.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Corpo leve para tinto. Dominado pelo sabor moderado a tabaco e alguma fruta vermelha que anda por lá escondida. É incrivelmente fresco e macio na boca com baixa acidez e taninos finos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho afinado para ser fácil de beber mas que não cria grande entusiasmo, é bastante leve para tinto que mesmo com 14º facilita o consumo na época estival.

É barrigudo com corpo médio e ligeiramente untuoso. Não tem grande acidez, mas isso acaba por não o prejudicar porque este é um vinho de porte, gorduchito mas sem ser pesado e ligeiramente delicioso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e persistente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Fiquei chocado pela cópia perfeita do Castelo d'Alba, casa bem com carnes brancas grelhadas mas custa 25€. Um preço pronográfico. Devolvam-me por favor o meu adorado Castelo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;If this had been drinking wine my eyes shut I should say I was drinking &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/06/castelo-de-dalba-vinhas-velhas-200.html"&gt;Castelo D'Alba old vines&lt;/a&gt; because this is a clone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Golden with some amber.

It's bold with medium body and slightly buttery. It has not great acidity, it's soft but it turns out not becoming heavy and it's slightly delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long and persistent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked by the perfect copy of Castelo d'Alba, pairs well with grilled chicken, but it costs 25 €.

Falta-lhe uma acidez condizente que com um pouco mais puxada lhe daria outra vida.&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Casa na perfeição com marisco ou com peixe grelhado.

Maintains the blend of summer ripe fruit, but the wine is more mineral than fruity. Ends with impact. It lacks a lively acidity would bring some more brightness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Pairs in perfection with sea food and grilled fish.

Fruta de caroço: pêssego, aromas químicos, algum floral e algum melado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ataque químico na boca, entranha-se nas gengivas, não parece um vinho novo desta casta mas um vinho com um bom par de anos. A fruta de caroço também lá está misturada com sensações de mel silvestre . No fim acaba mineral, seco. Com acidez muito viva, e corpo médio é um vinho que cresce na boca, aditivo, apesar da maior presença dos sabores químicos é o balanço entre a mistura do sabor a frutos ao mel que o tornam muito agradável de beber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Apesar do registo ligeiramente austero, casa muito bem com marisco e peixe grelhado.

Stone fruit: peach, chemicals aroma, some floral and honey notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Chemical attack, flavor gut on the teeth gums, it tastes like a wine with 5 years old. The stone fruit there is also mixed with sensations of wild honey. Ends mineral and dry. With lively acidity, medium body it grows in the mouth, additive, despite the increased presence of chemical flavors is the balance between the blend with fruit flavor and honey that make it pleasant to drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It's slightly austere bur pairs very well with seafood and grilled fish.

Madeira à frente, baunilha e ameixa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho de porte, cheio na boca, mas com demasiado álcool. Bastante macio com sabor a ameixa preta madura, com muita intromissão da madeira e algumas notas licorosas.

Este fenómeno é alvo de estudo pela comunidade como por exemplo em&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://2daysperbottle.blogspot.com/"&gt;Two days per bottle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decantado 1 hora antes de ter sido bebido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito de Touriga Nacional com estágio de 16 meses em meias pipas de carvalho Francês.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada, lágrima escorre lentamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Muito simples, apenas frutos vermelhos, sem grande profusão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Impressiona quando macio é na boca, tem um ataque aveludado e cola-se à língua. Tem corpo médio e apresenta-se saboroso: sabe a frutos vermelhos com alguma madeira fumada. Por detrás há uma sensação licorosa que termina com ponta de gulodice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo, quente e reconfortante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custou 18€ e por este preço há outras propostas bem mais interessantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experiência de prova dois dias depois:&lt;br /&gt;Mantêm a sensação aveludada, só que agora o sabor aparece mais compacto, mais guloso, mais viciante. Transformou-se num instrumento de deboche. Passou a ser um vinho de corpo cheio mas sem perder a compostura. Diria que se fez homem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wonderfulland.com/vallado/"&gt;http://www.wonderfulland.com/vallado/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cy3h50DysR4/TVzo6vx2fhI/AAAAAAAAA-0/Sbvd1-8RvC8/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cy3h50DysR4/TVzo6vx2fhI/AAAAAAAAA-0/Sbvd1-8RvC8/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Inglês&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This tasting note that it is written here represents the experience in the day that the bottle was opened, but there are additional notes of evidence that the wine drunk two days after it's in better condition. This phenomenon is the subject of study by the community as for example in  &lt;a href="http://2daysperbottle.blogspot.com/"&gt;Two days per bottle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from Touriga Nacional with 16 months aging in French oak half barrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decanted 1 hour before tasting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Garnet color, wine tear runs slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Very simple, just red fruits, no profusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Impressive for it's softness, has a velvety attack and glues to the tongue. It has medium body with tasty red fruit with some smoked oak sensation. Underneath there is a feeling that ends with liquor hints becoming addictive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long, warm and comforting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Paid in the past 18€ for it. For this price there are other more interesting experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tasting experience two days later:&lt;br /&gt;Keep the velvety, but now the taste appears more compact, more greedy, more addictive. It&amp;nbsp; became an instrument of debauchery. Is a full bodied wine but without losing balance. It left childhood and become a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wonderfulland.com/vallado/"&gt;http://www.wonderfulland.com/vallado/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-1979887237578726948?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/1979887237578726948/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=1979887237578726948' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/1979887237578726948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/1979887237578726948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/02/quinta-do-vallado-touriga-nacional-2006.html' title='Quinta do Vallado Touriga Nacional 2006 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-od8nh4lGTgI/TVzjoEC_3xI/AAAAAAAAA-w/dtRr1juVCCw/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-3053760764492150335</id><published>2011-02-05T10:11:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-02-05T10:11:18.807Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN5046262949508'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fortificado'/><title type='text'>Encostas de Estremoz 2008 Licoroso</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TU0ZGzrZx8I/AAAAAAAAA-o/i_7PN0rSpb8/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TU0ZGzrZx8I/AAAAAAAAA-o/i_7PN0rSpb8/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;O sector dos vinhos em Portugal tem vindo a inovar com o aparecimento de algumas propostas ousadas. Desde Vinho Verde feito no Douro, vinhos &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/05/filipa-pato-molecular-2008.html"&gt;moleculares&lt;/a&gt; e especula-se que no ano de 2011 vão aparecer no mercado vinhos de uva podre feitos no Douro. No Alentejo têm aparecido algumas propostas de fortificados, como este que se traz aqui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada opaca que quase consegue tingir o copo. Lágrima escorre rápidamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Muito volatilizado, muito álcool no nariz, contudo é um nariz masculino e pujante. Cheira a ameixa preta cristalizada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Tem sabor próximo a geleia de ameixa e aparece na boca com algum volume no início. Nota-se a presença da madeira. Só que o sabor inicial desaparece rapidamente ficando submergido em álcool, terminando com a sensação que estamos a beber um vinho de mesa. Quando acabamos de beber tudo nos parece desligado e temos algum receio de voltar a beber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Não gostei nada do vinho. Não me pareceu que fosse defeito, mas sim feitio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.encostasdeestremoz.com/"&gt;http://www.encostasdeestremoz.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TU0cxxe2vQI/AAAAAAAAA-s/wWQFPJJVTXU/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TU0cxxe2vQI/AAAAAAAAA-s/wWQFPJJVTXU/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The wine sector in Portugal has been innovating with the appearance of some bold proposals. From Douro it's possible to buy Vinho Verde, it's possible to drink &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/05/filipa-pato-molecular-2008.html"&gt;molecular&lt;/a&gt; wine and there is some vaporware that in 2011 will appear in the market wines made from rotten grapes in the Douro. In Alentejo region, some fortified proposals appeared in the market, like this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Almost opaque garnet color that can virtually tint the glass. Tear runs down quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Too volatile, too much alcohol on the nose, yet it is a masculine and powerful nose. It smells of candied black plum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning it tastes like plum jelly with some volume. There is some oak blended. But the initial impression disappears quickly becoming submerged in alcohol, ending with the feeling that we are drinking a table wine. When we tasted once more we have some fear of the tasting experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I did not like the wine.

Tive a oportunidade de falar com os responsáveis da empresa que me informaram que sob orientação de Luis Pato foram sempre incentivados a produzir vinhos distintos e que se diferenciassem de todos os demais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vinho monocasta feito a partir de Maria Gomes provenientes de vinhas com 45 a 30 anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor amarelo palha, bastante pálida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Pouco dialogante no nariz. Aromas de folhas e algum floral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Nota-se secura, é um vinho com um ataque mineral cujo sabor salino se acentua à medida que vamos deixando o vinho na boca. É um vinho muito leve quase evaporado. Precisava de mais acidez para puxar, mas infelizmente esta é residual tornado o vinho murcho. No final o sal da lugar a algumas sensações vegetais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Tem um sabor muito próprio, salgado e isso pode não agradar a qualquer um. mas acompanha bem carnes brancas estufadas. Precisa de mais acidez, muito mais acidez e é uma pena que vinho morra na boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quintadoscozinheiros.com/"&gt;http://www.quintadoscozinheiros.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This bottle was purchased in &lt;a href="http://www.adegga.com/"&gt;Adegga&lt;/a&gt; wine market in Lisbon. I had the opportunity to speak with the people that worked in the company that informed me that under the guidance of Luis Pato encouraged to produce different wines with different character from all the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Single variety wine made from Maria Gomes from vineyards with 45 to 30 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Not to much dialogue in the nose. Leaves and some floral notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry, is a wine with an mineral attack it tastes to salt whose flavor becomes more pronounced as we keep the wine in the mouth. This wine has a very light body. Needed more acidity, but unfortunately becomes flabby. At the end salt is substituted by some vegetable sensations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It has a flavor of it's own, salty and it can not please anyone. Pairs well with chicken stew.

Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Ligeiramente cítrico e cascas de frutos tropicais. É um bouquet equilibrado, mas não muito potente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Seco na boca e de corpo leve mas sem acidez suficiente para dar estrutura ficando um pouco murcho. Sabe a citrinos misturados bem integrado com madeira e ananás com açúcar. Não esta muito equilibrado de sabor e no final por causa da presença açucarada fica um pouco enjoativo. Tem alguma gordura mas que o tornam pesado e baço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Parece que a receita foi oferecer um bocado de tudo mas não funciona até porque a casta dá-se melhor em lote do que orgulhosamente sozinha. É morto e pesadão. Custa os mesmos 16€ que o tinto. Não gostei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maroteira.com/"&gt;http://www.maroteira.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TTnXgvLmM5I/AAAAAAAAA-c/Qu_gs2n6ny8/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TTnXgvLmM5I/AAAAAAAAA-c/Qu_gs2n6ny8/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;This single vine variety Viognier was drunk on the same day before its brother's &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/01/cem-reis-syrah-reserva-2008-tinto.html"&gt;red&lt;/a&gt;. Aged in French oak barrels and stainless steel vats for 6 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Pale straw yellow. Tear runs slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Some citrus in the background and tropical fruit peel. A balanced but not very powerful bouquet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry with light body with flabby acidity, structureless getting a little wilted. Tastes like citrus blend with oak and pineapple with sugar on top. Is not very balanced in flavor and in the end because its sugar character steals any hint of hidden brilliance it could have. It has some butter but that makes it heavy and boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It seems that the recipe was to offer a bit of everything but does not work, also because the variety works better blended proudly alone. It's lifeless and heavy. It costs 16€ like red brother.

Estagiou 10 meses em barricas de carvalho Francês e 4 meses barricas de carvalho Americano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada pouco carregada. Lágrima escorre lentamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromático, predominam aromas a framboesa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Típico Syrah com sabor guloso a framboesa madura misturado com madeira tostada cujo sabor da última se vai aprofundando à medida que o vinho vai escorrendo para o nosso estômago. Tem corpo médio e acidez equilibrada que conjugado com o sabor compotado facilita o consumo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e especiado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho feito para ser fácil de beber que conjugado pelo facto de ter ganho uma medalha de ouro deve reunir as condições para que muitos o considerem apto para dia de festa. Não considero merecedor de grande atenção há Syrah's mais opulentos, gordos e profundos. Custa cerca de 18€ mas foi bebido em restaurante por 16€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sítio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maroteira.com/"&gt;http://www.maroteira.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TTGGRbnjscI/AAAAAAAAA-M/c3dPRHNmWmM/s1600/syrah+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TTGGRbnjscI/AAAAAAAAA-M/c3dPRHNmWmM/s320/syrah+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Syrah grows well in Alentejo region. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels and 4 months American oak barrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Garnet with medium coulour depth. Tear runs slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic aromas of raspberry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Typical Syrah with ripe and greedy raspberry flavor blended with toasted oak that lasts as the wine is flowing into our stomach. It has medium body and balanced acidity which together with some fruit jam notes make an easy and drinkable wine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long and spicy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A wine made to be easy to drink that combined with the fact that it won a gold medal is qualified to be drunk on a birthday. I do not consider worthy for such attention there are other Syrahs more opulent, thick and with deep flavor.Costs 18€ but it was drunk at 16€ in a restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producers web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maroteira.com/"&gt;http://www.maroteira.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-4876214209439033803?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/4876214209439033803/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=4876214209439033803' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/4876214209439033803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/4876214209439033803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/01/cem-reis-syrah-reserva-2008-tinto.html' title='Cem Reis Syrah Reserva 2008 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TTF3J1lxjSI/AAAAAAAAA-I/6RxRvQZ4hSs/s72-c/syrah+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-5326328554728316067</id><published>2011-01-08T10:10:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-01-08T10:11:59.290Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tempranillo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN5841660983327'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rioja'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Espanha'/><title type='text'>Báron del Ley Reserva 2004 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSgtHdo2qiI/AAAAAAAAA-A/j_WyKg2XLLI/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSgtHdo2qiI/AAAAAAAAA-A/j_WyKg2XLLI/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho feito 100% de Tempranillo com vindima manual. Estagiou 20 meses em barrica e 24 meses em garrafa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada oxidada, com reflexos acastanhados no bordo a denunciar envelhecimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Aromático e com um bouquet complexo: couro, cerejas, madeira, tosta. Muito sugestivo para o que viria a seguir na boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho tem um sabor de casamento entre a cereja misturada com madeira tostada. Tem um balanço perfeito na mistura. Bastante macio, ligeiramente engordurado com algumas notas de licor e a lembrar frutos secos, com taninos macios e acidez fina, resultando um vinho com estrutura. Tem corpo médio o que permite desfrutar todo o sabor sem ficar com a boca saturada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho bem feito, sem grande complexidade, equilibrado e é uma pena que o final seja médio.

Very suggestive for the tasting experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;This wine has a perfect blend of cherry and toasted oak. Soft, slightly buttery with notes of dried fruit and fruit liqueur, with soft tannins and fine acidity, resulting a structured wine.

Engarrafado em 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada quase opaca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz com aromas de baunilha, fruta preta: amoras e bagas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Nesta fase está de prova fácil porque ainda apresenta perfil açucarado. Ataque aveludado com sabor a ameixa em passa e amoras, bastante macio com taninos redondos resultando saboroso e envolvente com madeira bem integrada e final fumado. Liberta ligeiro rectobalsâmico.&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Se gosta dele assim, beba-o já e siga o caminho da opulência. Se não aprecia vinhos gulosos, espere mais um par de anos. Custa 11€ e tem excelente relação qualidade preço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outras colheitas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/12/meandro-2003-tinto.html"&gt;2003&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2008/12/meandro-2005.html"&gt;2005&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSITe33rZ_I/AAAAAAAAA98/KpczyxQPE4U/s1600/meandro+2008+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSITe33rZ_I/AAAAAAAAA98/KpczyxQPE4U/s320/meandro+2008+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Sousão, Tinta Amarela and Tinto Cão. Bottled in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Almost opaque garnet color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;So aromatic. Vanilla, black fruit: blackberries and other berries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Right now results easy to drink because of it's sweet profile. Attack with velvety plum and blackberries with very soft tannins resulting tasty and engaging with well integrated oak with a smoked finish. Unleash slight balsamic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;If you like a wine with this profile drink it now. Otherwise wait a couple of years. It costs € 11 and has excellent value for money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other vintages:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/12/meandro-2003-tinto.html"&gt;2003&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2008/12/meandro-2005.html"&gt;2005&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-3263448692458055478?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/3263448692458055478/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=3263448692458055478' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3263448692458055478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3263448692458055478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/01/meandro-2008-tinto.html' title='Meandro 2008 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIPdoodZrI/AAAAAAAAA94/8E4Tt8XJaQQ/s72-c/meandro+2008+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-6419385802355212013</id><published>2011-01-03T19:41:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-01-03T19:41:01.897Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Espumante'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN0601497908475'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><title type='text'>Vértice Millesime 2005 Espumante</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIGoK4AryI/AAAAAAAAA9w/Q-pAloPUuu4/s1600/vertice+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIGoK4AryI/AAAAAAAAA9w/Q-pAloPUuu4/s320/vertice+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;O ano passado por esta altura tinha provado o &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/01/vertice-super-reserva-bruto-2005.html"&gt;Super Reserva de 2005&lt;/a&gt; e tinha ficado com excelente impressão. Este ano deitei a mão ao Millésime do mesmo ano e estava à espera de muito mais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor dourada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromas moderados de frutos secos predominantemente amêndoas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este espumante tem uma mousse viciante, macia, opulenta. Sabores a amêndoas, frutos secos torrados melados, licores. Tem uma acidez fina mas com vida, resulta estruturado na boca com um sabor encantador. De corpo leve, é bastante elegante e muito bem proporcionado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um espumante muito sério. Custa 15€ e vale todo o dinheiro que custa. Antes de comprar uma garrafa de Champanhe de entrada de gama, pense em comprar com o mesmo dinheiro duas garrafas deste. Altamente recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIL447S7GI/AAAAAAAAA90/wBUf5I3trl4/s1600/vertice+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIL447S7GI/AAAAAAAAA90/wBUf5I3trl4/s320/vertice+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Last year by this time I tasted the &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/01/vertice-super-reserva-bruto-2005.html"&gt;2005 Super Reserve&lt;/a&gt; and I was highly impressed. This year I bought the Millésime and was expecting more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Golden colour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Moderate aromas: nuts, mainly almonds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;This sparkling wine has an addictive mousse, soft, opulent. Flavours of almonds, roasted nuts with a honey layer and liquor. It has a fine and lively acidity results structured in the mouth with a lovely flavor. Light body, is quite elegant and well proportioned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A very serious sparkling . It costs 15€ and is worth all the money. Before buying one bottle of entry range Champagne, consider buying with the same money two bottles of this one. Highly recommended.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-6419385802355212013?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/6419385802355212013/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=6419385802355212013' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6419385802355212013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/6419385802355212013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2011/01/vertice-millesime-2005-espumante.html' title='Vértice Millesime 2005 Espumante'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TSIGoK4AryI/AAAAAAAAA9w/Q-pAloPUuu4/s72-c/vertice+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-7861748361675262172</id><published>2010-12-24T09:22:00.003Z</published><updated>2010-12-27T09:27:30.370Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN5410741417121'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vinho do Porto'/><title type='text'>Quinta do Noval 2000 Late Bottled Vintage Port</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TRRg24NQrOI/AAAAAAAAA9k/QWjF8qU3Abk/s1600/noval+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TRRg24NQrOI/AAAAAAAAA9k/QWjF8qU3Abk/s320/noval+front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;E porque hoje é véspera de natal, deixo-vos esta sugestão para acompanhar as sobremesas desta época.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada escura. Lágrima escorre muito lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Não impressiona no nariz, sente-se compota de amora e alguma ginja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Sedoso na boca, sabe no início a ginjas em calda, com um sabor surpreendentemente definido. A segunda camada trata-se de doce compota de amora em pedaços. Tal e qual, quase se se sente a textura. Se seguida regressa a ginja que acaba por se impor. Este LBV quase que se consegue barrar no pão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Ultra longo, balsâmico e potente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Acompanhou bolo inglês, mas julgo ser talhado para queijos de pasta dura. Excelente.

Tear runs slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Not impressive in the nose, blackberry jam and some cherries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Silky in the mouth, attack with cherries in syrup surprisingly defined. The second layer is blackberry jam resembling it's texture. Ends with cherries dominating flavour experience.&amp;nbsp; This LBV could be suitable to spread in the bread regarding such finesse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Ultra long, balsamic and powerful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Paired perfectly with English cake, but I think it is suited for hard texture cheeses.

Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Contido no nariz, fruto tropical, fruto de caroço e citrinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Meio seco e corpo leve, tem acidez crocante no início com ataque cítrico seguido de uma mistura de frutos tropicais e algum alperce. A acidez muito viva e que lhe confere estrutura prolonga os sabores na boca e que o tornam fácil de beber, quer pela frescura quer especialmente pela presença do cariz tropical. Altamente agradável de beber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e com sensações fumadas apesar do vinho não estagiar em madeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Se pretende um vinho que todas as pessoas gostam, este é um daqueles que pode comprar sem receios. A receita não é original, mas vai de encontro ao que muitas pessoas gostam hoje em dia. Tem um senão: o álcool. 14% é um exagero. Custa 7€ e tem boa relação qualidade preço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ramospinto.pt/"&gt;http://www.ramospinto.pt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TRRbLQ6QPSI/AAAAAAAAA9g/Vf9ZrCtk3ww/s1600/bons+ares+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TRRbLQ6QPSI/AAAAAAAAA9g/Vf9ZrCtk3ww/s320/bons+ares+back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Drank a handful of times this year because it is easy to find this wine in a restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Viosinho, Rabigato and Sauvignon Blanc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Translucent straw yellow. Tear runs slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Low to moderate in the nose, tropical fruit, citrus and stone fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry and light body, crisp acidity is in the beginning guided by a citrus attack and a blend of tropical fruits and some apricot. The lively acidity provides structure and extends the flavors in the mouth that make it easy to drink, either by freshness and particularly it's tropical character. Highly enjoyable to drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long with smoked notes despite the fact this wine does not touch wood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want a wine that everyone likes, this is one of those who can buy without fear. The recipe is not original, but it is easy to drink. Has a drawback: the alcohol. 14% is an exaggeration.

É uma casta que proporciona vinhos brancos com uma acidez viva, assegurando condições para guarda. Por outro lado quando novos são vinhos frutados com grande impacto na boca e em velhos sofrem mutações para sabores em torno do fósforo e resinas entre outras combinações mais complexas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pena é que uma das castas com grande potencial no nosso país, a par com o Alvarinho continue esquecida no mundo. A prova realizou-se no início de Novembro e no momento em que escrevo esta crónica está a realizar-se a Wine Tourism Conference Workshop no Porto. &lt;a href="http://www.jancisrobinson.com/"&gt;Jancis Robinson&lt;/a&gt; afirmava à pouco via twitter: "&lt;i&gt;Tricky to dissuade Portuguese from thinking their history is enough to sell their wine&lt;/i&gt;". Esclarecedor sobre a forma como abordamos o mercado. Outro aspecto sintomático: na sala metade das pessoas eram enólogos responsáveis por alguns dos vinhos que faziam parte da prova (por exemplo: Quinta dos Carvalhais, Munda) pessoas com mais de 50 anos e que conheciam a casta e sabiam do seu potencial de envelhecimento e pouco mais. Esteve também presente &lt;a href="http://www.thewinedetective.co.uk/"&gt;Sarah Ahmed&lt;/a&gt; crítica Inglesa que demonstra que parece que são os estrangeiros que se interessam mais no potencial desta casta do que os próprios Portugueses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A prova foi guiada pelo crítico João Paulo Martins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1Db0ZPoI/AAAAAAAAA88/sP7YdIrgdv4/s1600/IMG00062-20101105-1934.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1Db0ZPoI/AAAAAAAAA88/sP7YdIrgdv4/s320/IMG00062-20101105-1934.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2010 - amostra de cuba&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Este vinho é feito a partir de duas vinhas distintas. Ainda muito cru (tártaro) mas mas a dar boas notas de concentração de fruta de caroço.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2010 - amostra de barrica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Com acidez em ponto crocante, sabor ainda em bruto, não tem notas de madeira porque segundo o produtores não queimam a barrica, usam água  quente e por isso torna o vinho mais directo e fresco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Muito fruto caroço, grande equilíbrio na boca  com uma acidez perfeita, sabor cresce e liberta ligeiro retro-balsâmico.  Fim de boca longo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Condessa de Santar 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;De perfil diferente ao típico Encruzado novo também pelo facto de resultar de um blend com Arinto, nota-se presença de floral em primeiro plano seguido de fruta de caroço. Tem boa proporção na boca mas a mistura não me pareceu feliz. É um vinho fino de sabores, sem o impacto de boca dos restantes.

Dominado pelo floral, mas de pouca interacção e acidez curta. Não gostei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1Jwp5AMI/AAAAAAAAA9A/E90ORT0eJFw/s1600/IMG00063-20101105-1934.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1Jwp5AMI/AAAAAAAAA9A/E90ORT0eJFw/s320/IMG00063-20101105-1934.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Munda 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Tinha  bebido num almoço na mesma semana a colheita de 2009 e pareceu-me demasiadamente  jovem. A Colheita de 2007 é enorme e foi dos vinhos jovens o  meu preferido. Nariz complexo: erva, caixa de fósforos, folhas, algum  fruto de caroço. Na boca é um vinho de perfil seco, austero,  com uma acidez brilhante e muito retro balsâmico, fruta de caroço  envolvente e de sabor exponencial. Final longo. Fantástico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta da Saes 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Não é um cem por cento encruzado. Leva 80% de Encruzado e um blend de outras castas, onde entra o Sercial. É feito a partir de uma vinha velha. Muito aromático no nariz: com fruta frutos de caroço e aromas químicos. Na boca inicia com fruta de caroço passa para aromas químicos e depois engorda no final terminando melado. Um vinho para descobrir e deixar ser levado pela corrente de sabores. Final médio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta da Saes 2005&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;De registo mais austero, talvez seco em demasia, com as mesmas transições de boca como o de 2006.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Roques 2001&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Esta colheita já muito distante dos vinhos novos, mostra a magia da casta. No nariz já não existe fruta, há aromas de rebuçado e anis. Na boca os sabores andam em torno de transição de diversos licores de fruta, com uma acidez viva. Surpreendente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1NifjeOI/AAAAAAAAA9E/h6yt_yySoRA/s1600/IMG00064-20101105-1935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1NifjeOI/AAAAAAAAA9E/h6yt_yySoRA/s320/IMG00064-20101105-1935.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Porta dos Cavaleiros 1985&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Feito a partir de um blend de Encruzado e Bical, Muito transformado pelo tempo, com uma acidez viva de fazer inveja a muitos outros vinhos, aromas a cola de madeira, sabores químicos, não agradará à maior parte dos consumidores. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Dos vinhos velhos,  este foi o que gostei mais. Incrivelmente fresco na boca, com acidez  viva, resinoso, complexo, decompõe-se em camadas, final longo,  fantástico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Centro de Estudos de Nelas 1971&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Feito a partir de de um blend&amp;nbsp; de Encruzado, Malvasia Fina e Sercial. Ainda em grande forma: acidez viva,&amp;nbsp; de perfil seco mas com unto, algumas notas florais e sensações de notas de café no final. Magnifico para um vinho com quase 40 anos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Encruzado wine variety has its roots in Dão region and it has remained there. Provides white wines with a lively acidity, providing conditions keep it in the cellar. New wines are fruity with great impact in the mouth, when aged mutate around mach box aromas, resins and other more complex chemical combinations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Pity is that one of the varieties with high potential in our country, along with Alvarinho remains forgotten. The event where these wines were drunk was held in early November and at the time of writing this chronicle is being held the Wine Tourism Conference &amp;amp; Workshop in Oporto. &lt;a href="http://www.jancisrobinson.com/"&gt;Jancis Robinson&lt;/a&gt; said in twitter: "Tricky to dissuade from Portuguese history Their thinking is enough to sell Their wine ". Clearer about our strategic tactics. Another symptomatic aspect: in the test room half of people were winemakers responsible for some of the wines that were part of the tasting experience (eg Quinta dos Carvalhais, Munda) people over 50 years&amp;nbsp; who knew about the grape aging potential and a few more curious people. &lt;a href="http://www.thewinedetective.co.uk/"&gt;Sarah Ahmed&lt;/a&gt; was also present that demonstrates foreigners are more interested in these particular wines rather than the Portuguese themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;The tasting was led by the wine critic João Paulo Martins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2010 - wine vat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt; sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This wine is made from two different vineyards. Still very raw (tart), but provides some hints about fruit concentration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2010 - barrel sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With crisp acidity, still raw, no oak presence because according to the producers they did not burn the barrel, use hot water instead providing fresh sensation and a naked character.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quinta dos Carvalhais 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of stone fruit, great balance in the mouth with a perfect acidity, flavour and releases slightly retro-balsamic sensation. Long finish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Adega de Penalva 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A wine with very different profile from the others. Dominated by floral, but with little interaction and short acidity. I did not like it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1UGpBwaI/AAAAAAAAA9I/watZm9LxrBU/s1600/IMG00065-20101105-1935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1UGpBwaI/AAAAAAAAA9I/watZm9LxrBU/s320/IMG00065-20101105-1935.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Munda 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drunk the 2009 vintage in the same week it seemed too youthful. 2007 vintage is huge and it was my favorite among the young ones. Complex nose: grass, matchbox, leaves, some stone fruit. In the mouth, is a dry wine with austere profile, with a bright acidity and lots retro balsamic, stone fruit flavour becomes exponential. Long finish. Fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br style="color: orange;" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta da Saes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Not a hundred percent Encruzado. It's a blend of 80% Encruzado and other grapes like Sercial. It's origin is an old vineyard. Very aromatic nose: stone fruit and chemical &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;aromas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;. In the mouth it begins with stone fruit, transforms to chemicals flavours, ends fat, with syrup notes. Let the wine drifting in your mouth. Medium finish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1ZbXz04I/AAAAAAAAA9Q/0jBTrweIdOw/s1600/IMG00067-20101105-1935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1ZbXz04I/AAAAAAAAA9Q/0jBTrweIdOw/s320/IMG00067-20101105-1935.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta da Saes 2005&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More austere, perhaps too much dry with the same transitions like the 2006 vintage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Quinta dos Roques 2001&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one far from the young wines shows the magic of wine grape. In the nose there is no longer fruit there are aromas of sweet and anise. In the mouth the flavours transforms within various fruit liqueurs, with a lively acidity. Amazing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: orange;"&gt;Porta dos Cavaleiros 1985&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Encruzado and Bical, much transformed by age, with a lively acidity (some wines can envy this acidity), aromas of wood glue, chemical, not appealing to most consumers.This was what I liked most from the aged ones. Incredibly fresh in the mouth, with lively acidity, resinous, complex, layered, long finish, fantastic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1ux5zb9I/AAAAAAAAA9U/0JypS4L0z8I/s1600/IMG00068-20101105-1935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1ux5zb9I/AAAAAAAAA9U/0JypS4L0z8I/s320/IMG00068-20101105-1935.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Centro de Estudos de Nelas 1971&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Encruzado, Malvasia Fina and Sercial. Still in great shape, lively acidity, dry but with a&amp;nbsp; buttery character, some floral notes and some coffee hints at the end. Very good for a wine with almost 40 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1W9oI8fI/AAAAAAAAA9M/3ggjvRyJSaM/s1600/IMG00066-20101105-1935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1W9oI8fI/AAAAAAAAA9M/3ggjvRyJSaM/s320/IMG00066-20101105-1935.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-44683084368397456?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/44683084368397456/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=44683084368397456' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/44683084368397456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/44683084368397456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/12/encruzado-casta-e-o-vinho.html' title='Encruzado – A Casta e o Vinho'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TQN1Db0ZPoI/AAAAAAAAA88/sP7YdIrgdv4/s72-c/IMG00062-20101105-1934.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-3299679188985747472</id><published>2010-12-05T10:02:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-12-05T10:02:16.977Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN6810909765498'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><title type='text'>Passagem 2005 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TPtcj4JPzLI/AAAAAAAAA80/N3yUKMxxhlQ/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TPtcj4JPzLI/AAAAAAAAA80/N3yUKMxxhlQ/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Aventura pessoal do enólogo Jorge Moreira, ligado aos vinhos Quinta de la Rosa e Poeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor entre o granada e rubi, quase opaca. Lágrima cola-se ao copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz aromático, volátil, frutos vermelhos e baunilha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Ataque com baunilha e madeira tostada aparecendo depois frutos vermelhos e sensações de anis que mais tarde, à medida que se vai bebendo, vai dominando os sabores. Tem uma boca fresca. Impressiona por ser macio, com corpo médio e acidez fina com taninos felpudos com textura de carpete que lhe transmite ligeira rudeza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho de inverno, ideal para acompanhar cabrito assado. Os taninos que podem ser algo "espessos" para alguns dão-lhe um carácter ligeiramente selvagem ao vinho, demarcando-se dos padrões que estamos habituados a beber. Parece que o vinho foi propositadamente feito desta forma e está muito bem assim. Custa 13€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TPte_ZMvVzI/AAAAAAAAA84/ZiMZQhgOor0/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

Tear glue to the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic nose, volatile, red fruit and vanilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Vanilla attack followed by toasted oak and red fruits with some anise sensations that later, dominate the flavours. It has a fresh mouth. Impressed by it's softness, with medium body and fine acidity with carpet texture tannins that brings a slight roughness in the end.&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It is a wine to taste in winter season, pairs perfectly roast lamb. Tannins may be something "thick" for some but it provides a wild character. Seems that the wine was purposely done this way and I love it. It costs 13€.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-3299679188985747472?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/3299679188985747472/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=3299679188985747472' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3299679188985747472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/3299679188985747472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/12/passagem-2005-tinto.html' title='Passagem 2005 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TPtcj4JPzLI/AAAAAAAAA80/N3yUKMxxhlQ/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-2231648648702969460</id><published>2010-11-26T12:29:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-12-05T09:52:37.572Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN9311565693103'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Douro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Bétula 2009 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TO-gstJMRsI/AAAAAAAAA8s/_BcQcwEDCVs/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TO-gstJMRsI/AAAAAAAAA8s/_BcQcwEDCVs/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O ano passado, o do lançamento, este vinho tinha demonstrado que pretendia traçar um caminho diferente no panorama dos brancos Portugueses. A colheita deste ano aí está a reiterar a aposta efectuada anteriormente. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito em partes iguais de Sauvignon blanc e Viognier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor amarelo palha, ténue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dominado pelo aroma de frutos de caroço. Os aromas são delicados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Corpo leve, mas com acidez com algum crocante no início, mantendo-se viva resultando um vinho com estrutura na boca. Ligeiramente seco. Sabe a fruto de polpa amarela que se vai entranhado língua, algumas notas de estágio de barrica, terminando com sensações minerais. Está muito bom de boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;A colheita de 2009, está melhor do que a de 2008. Mais evoluído, mais dialogante com mais pujança, tenso e dentro de um perfil que me cativa mais do que os tradicionais brancos de Portugal. Custa 13€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outras Colheitas: &amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/01/betula-2008-branco.html"&gt;2008&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nota: Garrafa enviada pelo produtor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TO-kEos2xKI/AAAAAAAAA8w/Nrp5ziRkrtc/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TO-kEos2xKI/AAAAAAAAA8w/Nrp5ziRkrtc/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Last year, when it was introduced in the market, this wine had demonstrated that it intended to chose a different path in the&amp;nbsp; Portuguese's whites landscape. This year's vintage is here to reiterate the commitment made previously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made of equal parts of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Appearance&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Pale straw yellow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Delicate stone fruit aroma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Light body, but with an early crisp acidity transforming to lively resulting a structured wine. Slightly dry. Tastes like yellow stone fruit that you can feel deeply in your tongue, with oak hints, ending with mineral sensations. Very good indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;2009 vintage is better than 2008. More evolving, more mouthful with more character, tense and within a profile that captivates me more than the traditional whites. Costs 13€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other Vintage: &amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/01/betula-2008-branco.html"&gt;2008&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End note: Bottle kindly send by the producer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-2231648648702969460?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/2231648648702969460/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=2231648648702969460' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/2231648648702969460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/2231648648702969460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/11/betula-2009-branco.html' title='Bétula 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TO-gstJMRsI/AAAAAAAAA8s/_BcQcwEDCVs/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-7183835909792109810</id><published>2010-11-20T16:10:00.002Z</published><updated>2010-12-05T09:52:58.134Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Estremadura'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN3884517465425'/><title type='text'>Quinta do Convento Reserva 2004 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TOfogz7XFmI/AAAAAAAAA8k/AhAdz11lgK4/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TOfogz7XFmI/AAAAAAAAA8k/AhAdz11lgK4/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Outro dia estava numa garrafeira e este vinho chamou-me à atenção. A garrafa era pesada e bojuda. Associei que quem fez o vinho tinha teoricamente alguma atenção com o conteúdo que pretendia preservar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor granada escura, lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Persistem os frutos vermelhos e a baunilha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho bem afinado, de perfil clássico. Fruta vermelha bem definida, acidez fina, corpo médio, com sabor ligeiro a baunilha no final. Taninos polidos, suave, envolvente, para beber e desfrutar devagar. Gostei da proporção, da maciez, consistente, redondo, polido. Pode ser um vinho igual a muitos outros mas sente-se que está bem feito. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Um vinho que casa bem com guisados.

The bottle was heavy with a very round bottom. Thought that the producer had theoretically some affection when this wine was produced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Appearance&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Dark garnet colour, tear tuns slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Persistent red fruits and vanilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;This wine shows a classic profile. Lovely defined red fruit, fine acidity, medium body, with vanilla hints in the end. Polished tannins, smooth, engaging. I liked the proportion, it's softness, consistency, round, polished. It can be a wine like many others, but I felt that this one is slightly better, well made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Pairs well with stews. It costs € 14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://quintadoconventodavisitacao.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://quintadoconventodavisitacao.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-7183835909792109810?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/7183835909792109810/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=7183835909792109810' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7183835909792109810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/7183835909792109810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/11/quinta-do-convento-reserva-2004.html' title='Quinta do Convento Reserva 2004 Tinto'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TOfogz7XFmI/AAAAAAAAA8k/AhAdz11lgK4/s72-c/front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-1747844354257009791</id><published>2010-11-19T22:56:00.002Z</published><updated>2010-12-05T09:53:17.948Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tinto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN2850769663330'/><title type='text'>Vale de Ancho Reserva 2006 Tinto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TOb5VbMKtaI/AAAAAAAAA8c/1UJtM15MbBI/s1600/front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TOb5VbMKtaI/AAAAAAAAA8c/1UJtM15MbBI/s320/front.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mais um grande vinho recomendado pelo João Almeida comprado numa feira de vinho do inicio deste ano para esgotar stocks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Feito a partir de Aragonês e Alicante Bouschet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Aparência:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Cor granada escuro, quase opaco, lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Aromas:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;No nariz mostra-se aromático: frutos vermelhos, aromas de licor e baunilha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Palato:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Na boca é envolvente, fino, fruta bem proporcionada onde predomina o sabor a framboesa e licores à mistura e madeira bem integrada.

Sob ponto de vista estratégico manteve-se para além da manutenção dos valores tradicionais incutiu uma cultura de inovação na forma como trabalha os vinhos produzidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho monocasta, feito a partir de Baga é uma aposta arriscada, reconhecida pelo próprio produtor no contra rótulo. Posiciona-se como um vinho tinto de verão, o que acaba por ser curioso que quando bebemos o &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/02/luis-pato-baga-2005.html"&gt;tinto&lt;/a&gt; de entrada tínhamos ficado com a mesma impressão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor Rubi, pouco profunda. Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz dominado por aromas a caixa de fósforos, austero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;O vinho é leve parece um branco jovem. Tem pouca expressão de sabor, contraído, pouco dialogante na boca. O vinho tem muitos feitios natural da casta: é adstringente com taninos amargos e felpudos, mas não tem equilíbrio. É escorrido, lavado, diluído, murcho. A acidez só dá sinais de si no final de forma concentrada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto e ácido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Não gostei. Estava à espera de algo diferente, mas acabei por encontrar um vinho descompensado. A rolha indica que não está para grandes guardas e para ser consumido rapidamente, não espere por grandes transformações em cave. Custa 10€. É uma experiência cara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.luispato.com/"&gt;http://www.luispato.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TNVsdkSsACI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/DKTZjXfCuKU/s1600/IMG00055-20101029-2033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TNVsdkSsACI/AAAAAAAAA8Y/DKTZjXfCuKU/s320/IMG00055-20101029-2033.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luis Pato has always been faithful to the tradition of typical Bairrada varieties usage. From a strategic viewpoint introduced an innovation culture in the way it produces it's wines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This single variety wine, made from Baga is a bet, as recognized by the producer as told in the label. It's a summer red wine, like the &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/02/luis-pato-baga-2005.html"&gt;entry&lt;/a&gt; level I tasted before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Appearance&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Ruby, medium colour deph. Tear runs slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Austere, smells like a matchbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Light like a white wine. Flavourless, contracted, everything is in the shadow. The wine is aligned with the grape variety: astringent, bitter sharp tannins but has no balance. It is drained, washed, diluted, withered. The acidity appears in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Short and acid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;I did not like it. I was expecting something different, but I finally found unbalanced. The stopper indicates to be consumed quickly, so do not expect major changes in the future. It costs € 10.

Feito a partir das castas Antão Vaz, Arinto e Verdelho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor Dourada, cristalina. Lágrima escorre rapidamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático para um vinho jovem. Dominado por aromas de melão e nectarina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Sabor com boa concentração, compacto e envolvente. Muito fruto de caroço algum maracujá seco e melão. Este desdobramento é apelativo e tornam o vinho cativante.

Lágrima cola-se ao copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático e dialogante no nariz. Nozes, figos e geleia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato: &lt;br /&gt;Na boca é doce, mas não muito, é suave e dócil. Tem sabor a doce de geleia muito bem definido quase mastigável, envolvido em notas de figos terminando com sabor a nozes. Estas variações de sabor tornam este Porto muito apelativo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo, marcado pelo sabor a nozes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;É um Porto totalmente virado para a fruta, sem grande intromissão do  álcool,&amp;nbsp;macio, com sabor bem definido. Custa 40€. Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.niepoort-vinhos.com/en/ports/"&gt;http://www.niepoort-vinhos.com/en/ports/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TMQFeKXCDcI/AAAAAAAAA7w/ZUfBqk29kug/s1600/back.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TMQFeKXCDcI/AAAAAAAAA7w/ZUfBqk29kug/s320/back.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;According to the producer these colheita Ports, age at least seven years in wood before being bottled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Aged amber, with orange reflections. Wine tear glue to the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Quite aromatic on the nose. Walnuts, figs and fruit jelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Sweet, but not much, is gentle and docile. It tastes to jelly well defined almost chewy, involved in figs and walnuts. These flavour variations makes a very appealing Port.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long, with walnuts flavour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;A Port with a fruit character, without too much&amp;nbsp; alcohol interference, soft, with well defined taste. It costs € 40.

Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Figos secos e amêndoas. Aromático e sugestivo, com o aroma dos figos a sobressair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Médio doce, sabe a figos secos e depois a amêndoas torradas. Tem um sabor aos frutos bem definido equilibrado com as notas de madeira. É um Porto suave, onde o álcool não se intromete muito e por isso torna-o equilibrado. Termina com notas de frutos vermelhos.&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e prolongado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Excelente escolha dentro deste tipo de Vinho de Porto.

Sempre foi um dos meus favoritos e é sempre bom voltar a revisita-lo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor rosada, quase cristalina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Tem aroma muito ténue a cerejas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Seco e bastante bruto, sem pinta de açúcar. Leve e fresco na boca com notas de cereja o que fazem deste espumante algo diferente das abordagens típicas dos espumantes da Bairrada. Tem uma mousse que cresce em que que ganha volume na boca. O sabor é viciante e é um espumante muito fácil de gostar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final: &lt;br /&gt;Curto e mineral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Este espumante tem uma excelente qualidade preço. Custa 7,5€. pode ser servido como entrada, pode ser bebido sozinho e acompanha bem marisco ou peixe grelhado. Pela diferenciação do sabor e proporção na boca é talvez a melhor alternativa à múltipla oferta nesta gama de preço. Para alguns será uma experiência entusiasmante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recomendado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.filipapato.net/"&gt;http://www.filipapato.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TLBrVO8Pc2I/AAAAAAAAA7g/om1hVwWZW1E/s1600/back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TLBrVO8Pc2I/AAAAAAAAA7g/om1hVwWZW1E/s320/back.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly two years since I drank this sparkling wine. It has always been one of my favorites and it's always good to try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aperance:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pink, quasi crystal clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Cherries with low intensity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Dry, no hints of sugar. Light and fresh in the mouth with cherry notes that make this sparkling something different approaches typical of the sparkling Bairrada. It has a mousse that grows it gaining volume in the mouth. The flavour is addictive and is a sparkling easy to enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Short and mineral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;This sparkling wine has an excellent value for the money. It costs 7,5€. Can be served paring "hors d'oeuvres", can be drunk alone and pairs perfectly with seafood or grilled fish. Taste differentiation and proportion is perhaps the best alternative to multiple offers in this price range.

Foi comprado porque custava 9€ pelo que pretendia avaliar como se comparava com o líder Soalheiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor Dourada. Lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Nariz muito aromático. Dominado pelos aromas citrinos e algum floral no fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho vai mudando depois de aberto. No início não se nota a presença da acidez e o vinho fica murcho, mas passado meia hora ganha personalidade própria. Corpo leve e seco na boca, sabe a citrinos no início com algumas notas de melão o que o torna saboroso. No final aparecem algumas notas de lichias. A acidez não é crocante típica do Alvarinho, pedia mais para empolar sabor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Custa 9€. Tem má relação qualidade preço e está um pouco longe do típico Alvarinho.

Bought this bottle to compare with market leader Soalheiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apperance:&lt;br /&gt;Gold colour. Wine tear runs slowly into the glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Very aromatic. Lots of citrus and some floral notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;This wine changes after opening. In the beginning there's no acidity and the wine is absolutely dull, but half an hour later it shows it's character. Light body, dry, citric with notes of melon that makes it enjoyable. At the end appear few notes of lychees. It does not have typical crisp acidity of Alvarinho, that could provide another tasting experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It costs 9€. Has poor value for money and is far from the typical Alvarinho.

Liberta um bouquet perfumado de amêndoas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Meio seco e corpo médio com citrinos no início transformando-se para frutos secos: amêndoas que se entranha nas gengivas. Tem final amanteigado delicioso, melado com ligeiro retro balsâmico. A acidez é fina e podia ser um pouco mais viva. É um vinho que vale pelo sabor: compacto, saboroso, diferente. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Muitas vezes o preconceito faz com que olhemos com desdém para os projectos de adegas cooperativas. Este vinho tem personalidade própria ao contrário do que se vê muito por aí no mercado. Custa 7,5€. Recomendado.

Releases a bouquet of almonds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;Medium dry, medium body with citrus in the beginning transforms to nuts: almonds that penetrates in the gums. Has a buttery finish delicious, with a slight retro balsamic and honey sensation. The acidity could be more more alive.

A última colheita que tinha bebedo era de 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Cor amarela esverdeada pálida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Bastante aromático, perfumado, tem aroma forte a maracujá verde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;O vinho mudou de perfil. Aparece agora mais austero que pode não agradar a todos. A acidez é viva. Perderam-se as notas tropicais complementares. Todo ele é maracujá bastante intenso, fresco mas com final ligeiramente amargo. Da concentração inicial que lhe confere algum corpo até gostei mas o sabor é muito igual e não há mais nenhum desdobramento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Curto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Este vinho se combinado com marisco até pode surpreender, mas na minha opinião ainda resulta desproporcionado, principalmente pela perda de essência tropical tão característica da casta e ainda pelo final curto. Pode ser que melhore com o tempo e deixe de ser defeito. Mas à segunda passagem parece-me que não é neste produtor que se deve procurar Verdelho. Custa 10€.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.esporao.com/"&gt;www.esporao.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outras colheitas: &amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2008/11/esporo-verdelho-2004.html"&gt;2004&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/THIz0OO6ZxI/AAAAAAAAA6c/hgwZemq9U6w/s1600/verdelho+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/THIz0OO6ZxI/AAAAAAAAA6c/hgwZemq9U6w/s320/verdelho+back.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Wine made from the Verdelho. The last vintage that I had drunk was the 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apperance:&lt;br /&gt;Pale yellow greenish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic, strong presence of passion fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;The wine has changed it's profile. It now appears more austere it may not please everyone. The acidity is lively. There is no tropical notes blend. It is passion fruit intense, fresh but with slightly bitter end. The initial flavour concentration provides some body but the wine only tastes to passion fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;This wine paired with seafood can be surprising, but in my opinion is unbalanced, especially the loss of tropical essence so characteristic of the grape variety and the short finish. It may be that improves over time. It seems to me that this producer is not the place to look for Verdelho regarding the &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2008/11/esporo-verdelho-2004.html"&gt;2004&lt;/a&gt; past experience.

O &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2009/10/esporao-reserva-2008-branco.html"&gt;ano&lt;/a&gt; passado tínhamos notado um aumento do açúcar na colheita de 2008 e este ano queríamos verificar que o perfil tinha regressado ao registo habitual ou se a ligeira mudança sentida era para manter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feito a partir de um blend de Antão Vaz, Arinto e Roupeiro, com contacto em barricas de carvalho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha pálido, lágrima escorre lentamente no copo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Aromático. Sente-se frutos tropicais e notas de madeira tostada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Fruto de caroço, manga, cítricos e uma bela madeira tostada, rica, acidez um pouco murcha no início revelando-se mais intensa no final em conjunto com os sabores que também se concentram conferindo-lhe corpo médio. Voltou ao registo meio seco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo e tostado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;A receita continua a funcionar: sabor cativante, fácil de gostar, grande aptidão gastronómica e fácil de encontrar.

This white become synonymous of excellent value for money and has a very interesting character. Last year we had noticed an increase in the sugar intensity in 2008 vintage and this year we wanted to verify if it's profile changed or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Made from a blend of Antão Vaz, Arinto and Roupeiro, contact with oak barrels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearance:&lt;br /&gt;Pale Straw yellow. Wine tear runs slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;Aromatic.Tropical fruit and notes toast. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stone fruit, mango, citrus and a lovely toasted oak, rich, smooth acidity in the beginning becomes more live in the end together with flavour intensity that becomes bigger providing a medium body sensation. It returned to off dry profile it has just a hint of sweetness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long and toasted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Tasty, savoury, easy to like, great gastronomic qualities and easy to find.

Pela cor não estava a espera de sabor tão concentrado. Tem ligeira textura. Persiste o sabor a ameixa amarela madura com algum melado. Com acidez viva resulta que o liberta do peso do açúcar resulta um vinho sem grande complexidade mas interessante de se apreciar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo, incrivelmente longo. O sabor agarra-se à garganta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;É vinho que pelos sabores não me parece ter grandes aptidões gastronómicas, contudo é perfeito para cozinhados com tempero forte como por exemplo feitos com caril.

With this colour I was not expecting so concentrated flavour. Has slight texture. Persists the taste of ripe yellow plum with some honey notes. With lively acidity reduces sugar weight resulting in a wine without great complexity but enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long. Flavour sticks to my throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;It's flavours may limit food pairing,&amp;nbsp; but is perfect for food with curry.

É um branco de corpo médio crescente, com sabor bem marcado, maduro mas um pouco doce de mais. Se não tivesse tanto açúcar ficava mais equilibrado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Podia ser mais bem afinado, gostei dos sabores dos frutos mas o excesso de açúcar penaliza-o um pouco.

It has a medium body, tasty, ripe sweet but a I think that deserve less sugar intensity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Medium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Could more balanced, I liked the flavours but the extra sugar is avoidable. May appeal to consumers who like something easier to drink. Deserved a long finish. It costs 14€. Paired easily with grilled fish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.herdadedosgrous.com/"&gt;http://www.herdadedosgrous.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-287333334902133048?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/287333334902133048/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=287333334902133048' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/287333334902133048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/287333334902133048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/08/herdade-dos-grous-reserva-2008-branco.html' title='Herdade dos Grous Reserva 2008 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGfBuwApxTI/AAAAAAAAA5s/gtavbKhk0YM/s72-c/Grous+reserva+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-242991124427930296</id><published>2010-08-15T11:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T11:28:53.294+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN8840501992822'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Esporão Private Selection 2008 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGe7cS8IuGI/AAAAAAAAA5c/20y1LHO6m5c/s1600/espor%C3%A3o+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGe7cS8IuGI/AAAAAAAAA5c/20y1LHO6m5c/s320/espor%C3%A3o+1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho feito a partir de &lt;span class="texto"&gt;Semillon, Marsanne e Roussanne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;Aparência:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;Amarelo palha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;Aromas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="texto"&gt;Frutos de caroço: alperce e madeira tostada.

O Julian Reynolds é 100% Arinto e comprei-o para ver como se comportava contra os habituais Prova Régia ou Bucellas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo palha, bastante pálido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Jovem, com notas de tangerina em primeiro plano e frutos tropicais de seguida. Sugestões de manga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Na boca resulta ser um vinho meio seco, corpo leve, com sabor jovem e moderado a tangerina e algum fruto tropical que vai desaparecendo dando lugar a alguma concentração mineral. O sabor resume-se a tangerina expandido por algum balsâmico que apesar de conferir alguma frescura na boca acaba por ser traído pelo excesso de nível de álcool (14,5 %) um exagero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Longo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;Alguns produtores deveriam fazer uma reflexão sobre o que andam a oferecer aos consumidores. A recente escalada da graduação do nível alcoólico traduz-se em vinhos que a partir do segundo copo se tornam impossível de beber, com a agravante neste caso específico, num vinho feito de arinto que se quer leve e fresco resulta em algo pesadote. Custa 7,5€. Por este dinheiro fico-me com o &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/search?q=arinto"&gt;Bucellas&lt;/a&gt; que por metade do preço está muito melhor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do Produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gloriareynolds.com/"&gt;http://www.gloriareynolds.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGe2FIs_6dI/AAAAAAAAA5U/aB8M6dSm4c4/s1600/julian+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGe2FIs_6dI/AAAAAAAAA5U/aB8M6dSm4c4/s320/julian+back.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;English&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Portuguese producers brought some momentum in the domestic market by introducing products with grape varieties that are not typical of the region or variants of market leaders. Julian Reynolds's is 100% Arinto and I bought it to see how he behaved against leaders Prova Régia or Bucellas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apperance:&lt;br /&gt;Very pale straw yellow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aroma:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Young, with notes of mandarin in the foreground and tropical fruits beneath. Hints of mango.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palate:&lt;br /&gt;In the mouth it turns out to be a off dry wine, light body, with young and mild mandarin taste and some tropical fruit that disappears giving way to some mineral concentration. It tastes basically to mandarin expanded by some balsamic sensation that despite giving some freshness in the mouth ends up being betrayed by alcohol level excess (14.5%).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finish:&lt;br /&gt;Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;Some producers need to reflect about what they are offering to consumers. The recent escalation of alcohol results that after drinking the second glass it turns impossible to continue enjoying the wine, with the aggravating circumstance in this case a wine made from arinto you want to be light and fresh results in something heavy. It costs 7,5€. For this money I buy instead &lt;a href="http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/search?q=arinto"&gt;Bucellas&lt;/a&gt; that for half the price is a much better choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Producer's Web site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gloriareynolds.com/"&gt;http://www.gloriareynolds.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4237350083282379776-133531712034692255?l=drinkedin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/feeds/133531712034692255/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4237350083282379776&amp;postID=133531712034692255' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/133531712034692255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4237350083282379776/posts/default/133531712034692255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkedin.blogspot.com/2010/08/julian-reynolds-arinto-2009-branco.html' title='Julian Reynolds Arinto 2009 Branco'/><author><name>Ligurio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17059398717318072733</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/Slimu6nZfFI/AAAAAAAAAWI/VOAqdPnNUgc/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGeuiNuHy1I/AAAAAAAAA5M/DkSb89lVrDw/s72-c/julian+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237350083282379776.post-5538690939573579717</id><published>2010-08-14T19:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T19:26:44.287+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AVIN3831393888381'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Branco'/><title type='text'>Altas Quintas Crescendo 2008 Branco</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGbV4nWyZWI/AAAAAAAAA48/I4-iHoqqqyo/s1600/altas+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-EvhDQ_AoSU/TGbV4nWyZWI/AAAAAAAAA48/I4-iHoqqqyo/s320/altas+front.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Português&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Vinho feito a partir das castas Arinto e Fernão Pires. Estagiou em câmara frigorífica. As uvas são provenientes num planalto do Parque de S. Mamede situada a 600 metros de altitude que segundo o produtor está na origem do seu carácter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aparência:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amarelo com alguma saturação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromas:&lt;br /&gt;Jovem, aromático, fruto de caroço e citrinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palato:&lt;br /&gt;Seco na boca, com sabor moderado a alperce bem definido não se nota grande presença de açúcar e ainda bem porque porque caso contrário ficávamos com a boca saturada. Tem acidez viva que prolonga o sabor. É um vinho saboroso de corpo ligeiro e com alguma frescura coadjuvada com a presença de algumas notas cítricas. Existem sugestões a madeira apesar do vinho não estagiar em pipa. Temos ainda frutos secos que estão bem encarnados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final:&lt;br /&gt;Médio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusão:&lt;br /&gt;É um vinho jovem bem feito, fácil de gostar e acompanhou na perfeição uma massa de peixe.Custa 9€. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitio do produtor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.altasquintas.pt/"&g
