2/2 On opening, it just coats (and grips) the palate. The big and lively finish makes sure it will never be ponderous and it evolves in the glass well, getting younger by the minute. The tannins at this point are under control. 13.5%, $80s these days #wine #portugal #baga #beiras

This 2009 is old vines Baga is from an esteemed estate near Bairrada. Winemaking by the J. Portugal Ramos team. Always loved the reds. In '09, it's big & deep, with a bit of a woody overlay plus roasted plums, but it retains a bright feel & acquires more finesse with air. On opening, it just coats (and grips) the palate, but it's never ponderous, always lively. It evolves in the glass well, getting younger. 13.5%, $80s these days

1/2 This 09 is basically Baga (with a sprinkling of others like Bastardo). After double decanting, it's lush, the texture surprisingly caressing at this point while the wine has a certain earthy note. It seems nuanced & complex, plus softer with age while retaining bite on the finish. #wine #baga

It's a fine performance and a great time to dive in, though there's plenty of life left. Mid-$40s these days. 13.8%
