It's aged beautifully--tight, precise and focused, with good concentration and vigor. The fruit seems alive, if laced with […]

A lousy vintage in most of PT, but a pretty nice Mouchão. Showing plenty of power, this adds finesse and focus. Alicante Bouschet-dominated, it has some personality, some flavor, some licorice, too, before it closes down. Its best feature is certainly […]

Na inspecção do carro, a sonda de emissões está solta do monitor. Depois de levar as mãos à cabeça com a leitura inacreditável, o inspector lá a põe no sítio. Emissões excessivas, num carro com catalisador novo em folha. Faróis algo baços. Matrícula legível, mas menos que nova em folha. Chumbado […]
