BASARES TEMPRANILLO DO Ribera del Duero (Bornei)

DOC Alentejo (Reguengos)

A fruity and brambly nose of herbs, red cherries and potpourri. Juicy and firm, with a medium to full body and chewy, chalky tannins. Tightly wound at the end. Drink or hold. Score: 90 (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Nov. 8, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 23974 (XD) 750 ml $20.95 2

Sourced from a single vineyard, this is an attractive blend of three indigenous grape varieties: alicante bouschet (40%) and trinca deira and aragonez (30% each). It’s a deeply hued wine (essentially a ‘black wine’) that shows robust aromatic and flavour profiles of dark fruit (plums and cherries) with notes of spice and co¥ee. The weight is medium, and with its well-tailored acidity, this is a terrific wine for the table. Drink now to 2027. (Tasted December 2025.) Score: 90 (Rod Phillips) Medium-bodied & Fruity 646083 (XD) 750 ml $14.95 2 Purity, vibrancy and freshness in this unpreten tious blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Sousão and old field blends. Crunchy red and blue fruit mingle on the palate supported by vibrant acid and zesty tannins. So drinkable but never simple, with alluring layer of fruit, herbs and sotobosque [underbrush]. A bottle that elevates the ‘everyday drinking’ concept to a new level. Drinking window: 2025-2028. Score: 92 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, Oct. 30, 2025) Full-bodied & Smooth 41900 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2 QUINTA DO VALLADO VINHO TINTO DOC Douro
