Messias Clássico Garrafeira Tinto, Bairrada
***92 Points- The Wine Advocate***

A staff favourite, this richly textured red wine comes from the up and coming Bairrada region in Portugal. It is made by the indigenous grape Baga, the flagship variety of the region, aged for 24 months in 50% new French barriques. Baga's small berries and thick skins make for intense, tannic wines. This wine is a strong representation of the Bairrada region and the Baga grape.

Tasting Notes
Intense ruby colour with garnet highlights. On the nose the wine shows Atlantic characteristics, including balsamic nuances of resin and cedar, as well as iodine and salty sensations. It has a large structure on the palate, with excellent tannins, and a high potential for ageing. …

Quinta Poço do Lobo - Cabernet, Bairrada | Excellent Provenance
** 91 Points - Robert Parker **

The 1995 Quinta Poço do Lobo from caves St Joao are an exceptional experience at a nice price. Plus, the provenance is perfect—re-released direct from the winery.

The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Quinta do Poço do Lobo is unoaked and comes in at 13.5% alcohol. This Reserva has more power than the regular reds and much riper fruit. It is bigger and fresher in every respect. Intense and powerful, this is nuanced by cassis and red fruits. It ends with a big finish. There are some typical nuances of aging Cab too. So, while it is fresh for its age, it hardly tastes like a young red. Many will consider that a good thing. …
