Outrora, a marca Porta dos Cavaleiros era sinónimo de vinhos de elevada qualidade, ao ponto que eram presença regular em festas. A abertura do mercado e o controlo dos canais de distribuição por outras marcas, fizeram com que com o tempo nos fossemos esquecendo da marca. O facto do aumento do poder de compra e o constante engano que o vinho caro é o melhor foram colocando a marca longe dos radares. Estava na altura de revistar este vinho e ver o que vale face aos padrões modernos.
Cor granada acastanhada.
Aromas a frutos vermelhos, com predominância para a cereja e madeira. Muito aromático e gracioso.
Na boca tem frescura, vida, equilíbrio, com a madeira fortemente tostada a comandar, cereja em calda e frutos pretos. Cheio de raça e estrutura.
Final longo e profundo.
Quantas vezes anda-se à procura de vinhos milagrosos, únicos e diferentes e esquecemos-nos daquilo que parece demasiadamente banal e comum porque temos medo de provar. Na realidade, revela-se um grande vinho. Cheio de frescura, personalidade e detalhes bem vincados. Muito bom.

In the past Porta dos Cavaleiros brand was synonymous with high quality wines, to the point that they were regular at family dinners. The change in the rules and mechanics of the wine market caused we as consumers started to erase the brand from our mind. The fact of increasing purchasing power and the constant deception that expensive wine is the best we can buy, put away some brands off the radar. Now it's time to discover again this wine and see what is worth compared to modern standards.
Brownish garnet color.
Very aromatic with cherries and oak.
It's delightfully fresh, balanced, with toasted oak commanding a swirl of cherries and dark berries. Full of structure and character.
Long and deep finish.
How often we are looking for miraculous wines, unique and different and we forget ourselves what seems too banal and common because we are afraid to taste and see what it's worth. In fact, proves to be a great wine. Full of freshness, character and sharp details. Very good and highly recommended.
