"Multi-awars winning" claims Vintages ..well, I'd certainly hate to taste the wines at those competitions that lost. This wine lacks depth and intensity amd is devoid of any character. The finish fades quickly. At $13, it's no bargain. If you are looking for a good Portuguese red for not too much cash, spend the extra $2 on Crasto or $3 more will get you Duas Quintas Tinto.
