3 x Vallado Reserva 2010 . The auction listed them as a Vintage Port, but they made no VP then and no VP with 'reserva' on the label in any year.
Price was fair for ready-to-drink Vallado reserve.

Re: What Portuguese wine have you purchased this week...
Went to Crasto wine dinner last night at restaurant in the next town over hosted by the local distributor. I brought a '94 Crasto Vintage to share with the participants that showed well. By the time it was divided up, I had just a small glass.
Ended up buying a 6 pack of Crasto Branco for $16 each. Great house white wine!

I just got 6 more. So nice and fresh. Not high acid for marinating purposes, but good for cooking with 1/2 a bottle as you sip the other 1/2.David Spriggs wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 10:37 amYes! I went back and bought more several times!

2021 Carlos Raposo Impecável
I picked this up from a local b&m today. Never had it before, but a Dão Touriga Nacional from a winemaker I know at $18 was worth a try I figure. I'm assuming I probably shouldn't age it too long, but if anyone knows differently, please let me know.
