Caves São João 2003 “Frei João” Bairrada (Portugal) – Dark, hard, difficult. There’s plum here, perhaps a bit fire-roasted, and squinched blackberry, and perhaps some dirt. Black dirt. I’d like to try this from a different vintage. (6/08)

Ever tried the “Baga” grape?
I believe you wouldn’t dislike a “Casa de Saima Garrafeira” (just as an example)…

July 23, 2008Yes, I have tried wines made from baga.
I’ll keep an eye out for that wine. Thanks.
