Great with steak night
Saw this on a list of interesting Portuguese reds and thought I'd give it a go. Really enjoyed it — it's got proper structure and the finish sticks around in a good way. We had it with ribeye steaks and roasted veg on a Friday night and it was spot on. Would happily grab another bottle.

Solid red, bit different
Got this for a dinner party and it went down well with everyone. It's got a nice balance to it and the fruit comes through really cleanly. Didn't know anything about talha wines before this but apparently they use these big clay vessels — you can kind of taste the difference, less oaky than what I usually drink. Good stuff.

This one opened up beautifully
Poured a glass and thought it was fine, nothing special. Left it for 20 minutes and came back to it and wow — completely different wine. So much more going on, layers of dark fruit and this really clean fresh acidity that kept me coming back for more. Had it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was perfect. 14% but you'd never know it.

Really interesting find
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. He said it was aged in clay pots which sounded weird but honestly it's really good — loads of fruit flavour and nothing tastes forced or fake. At £25 it's not an everyday bottle but I'd definitely buy it again for a nice meal.

Nice but not sure it's worth £25
It's a decent wine, don't get me wrong. Smooth, well made, interesting flavours. But for nearly £25 I expected to be a bit more blown away? I've had Portuguese reds at half the price that I enjoyed just as much. Would probably try other things from this producer at a lower price point though.
