  1. Entre a Muralha e o Douro: A Encosta Viva dos Guindais

    O Bairro dos Guindais, no Porto, é uma área histórica marcada pela Muralha Fernandina, um exemplo da arquitetura militar medieval portuguesa. Classificada como Monumento Nacional, a área abriga o Funicular dos Guindais, que liga a Ribeira à Batalha, e habitações tradicionais que refletem a sua ocupação densa. #photography #Portugal #NorteDePortugal #Porto #Guindais

  3. 3/3
    It's better the next day on all fronts, constantly improving, completely pulling in the wood. It's a fine performance from a graceful, um, icon with plenty of life left. 😉

    14% alc. Recent vintages seem to hit around $150. It is a Portuguese trophy these days.

  4. 2/2

    There's not intense power at this point, but it's bright and lively, with respectable firmness still. Better the next day on all fronts, constantly improving, completely pulling in the wood. It's a fine performance from a graceful, um, icon with plenty of life left. 😉

    14% alc. Recent vintages seem to hit around $150.

  5. Sousão (Vinhão in Vinho Verde) might be tamer in Douro, but it's still crisp, elegant and shows off a medley of dark red fruits. Earthier with age, it's held well and the good acidity no doubt helped. It is silkier than most reds.

    Perfect food wine, easy to pair, easy to drink now. Vallado does a nice job with it. It does seem to be fully ready. It is still fine the next day, but not as vibrant as it was when young.

    13.5% alc, $40-ish for new years.

    Vallado does a nice job with it. It does seem to be fully ready. It is still fine the next day, but not as vibrant as it was when young. It's not likely to improve.

  7. O Caminho Medieval para o Castelo de Lamego

    A Rua do Castelo, em Lamego, é um exemplo de urbanística medieval, com um traçado sinuoso e estreito que se adapta à topografia do outeiro. O pavimento em granito e as habitações de dois pisos com fachadas caiadas refletem a arquitetura vernacular do interior norte de Portugal. #photography #Portugal #Douro #Lamego #RuadoCastelo

  8. Porta da Rua do Castelo: Deuteronómio 6 na Paisagem Urbana de Lamego

    Porta de madeira vermelha em Lamego, com dispositivo metálico enferrujado e pergaminho manuscrito. Evoca a prática judaica da mezuzá, presente na memória sefardita da cidade, ou pode ser uma consagração doméstica cristã ou uma evocação estética. #photography #Portugal #Douro #Lamego #RuaDoCastelo

  9. It's a nice exercise in balance and texture now, with the wood better pulled in. Crispness supports it, and it shines more as it warms. Don't drink it too cold. It's fully prime-time, able to age more, but ready. 13%, mid-$30s for new years. #wine #douro #portugal

  10. 2/2 On opening, there were hints of problems to come, but surprise (I was!)--it improved a lot with air, with fresher fruit & balance, tho' still needs food Current vintages,$50-ish, but often competes with bigger Crasto trophies for a third of the price. 14.5%. Drink now. #wine #douro #portugal

  11. 2/2

    It shows fresher fruit and balance, although it still needs food. At least today, this is a good showing with distinction. It won't die soon, but it's a great time to dive in.

    Current vintages, $50-ish, but it often competes with the bigger Crasto trophies for a third of the price. 14.5%
