Quinta do Pôpa Contos da Terra Douro 2015 

Medium ruby with purple hue color. Nose of mixed berries with smoke, flowers, leather and meat aromas, very typical of this range of wines from Portugal, which I like! The wine shows some strenght but is not bitter nor rough since there is qualitative fruit flavors paired with spicy and leather notes, then ends in a silky finish. This is some rocking juice for its price! Good+ (88) 

Blend of tinta roriz (35%), touriga franca (30%), touriga nacional (20%), tinta barroca (15%). Aged in tanks. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 15,35$ (Code SAQ : 13073065)

Tabali Talinay Pinot Noir Limari Valley 2014

Medium dark and translucid ruby color. Aromas of red and black berries, earth, pepper, dried flowers, some oak, all in a powerful and expressive nose. Charming on the palate with its fruit and creamy texture, the wine still is serious, quite spicy with depth and tastyness. There is acidity, freshness while being true to the grape variety. Among the best Chilean Pinot Noir I’ve ever had. To keep in the cellar to try again in few months or years. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir from a vineyard located at 12 km of the Pacific Ocean. Fermented in tanks and aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 27,05$ (Code SAQ : 12976908)
