2020 Niepoort Douro Vertente
Gaia, Portugal (Douro DOC)
Grapes used: unknown but surely a mix of indigenous varieties.
13% ABV
$27.99 / 91
One of two wines had with Christmas dinner, served at 63º F / 17º C.
Decanted for one hour-plus
Served in standard red wine glasses
Served with Arroz de pato (Duck with rice)
In comparison to the Baga Bairrada which we also had with this dinner, the Vertente was more full-bodied and bold, with dark fruit aromas/flavors. We thought it didn't go super well with the duck dish, or really with any of the dishes. The Vertente certainly had more of an acidic bite while having it with the meal, though that’s a common experience for me where much wine with food is concerned. See below for Day 2 impressions sans food.
Both wines sat in their decanters before and during the meal for ~3 hours prior to being returned to their bottles.
So, Day 2 (sans food) I begin with the Vertente, as my impression of it was most incomplete. I get an aroma of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, possibly a little tobacco.
Palate begins with baking spice, unripe black fruit and a little gravel. Some herbs with a touch of red fruit becoming more prominent as it warms, subtle tannin and acidity that’s much more under control than yesterday. More red fruit that’s really voluptuous on the medium finish. Yum. Well balanced.
A good example of how the grapes in Portuguese wine can result in a very compelling flavor profile. Would buy again.
I end with the same impression that my wife had yesterday: the Niepoort Vertente is more enjoyable than the Baga on its own, though the Baga was the winner with food. I can wholeheartedly recommend both overall.

2023 Filipa Pato Baga Bairrada Dinamica
Óis do Bairro, Portugal (Bairrada DOC)
100% Baga, sourced from multiple young vineyards
12% ABV
$21.99 / 90
One of two wines had with Christmas dinner.
Decanted for one hour-plus
Served in Riedel Extreme Cab glasses
Served with Perna de peru no forno (Baked turkey leg) and Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá (Salt cod with eggs, onions and potatoes).
We began with the Baga. It had very earthy yet indecipherable aromas in the amount of time I chose to savor them. I’ll approximate with plum and mushrooms.
Unripe dark fruit flavors on the palate, velvety texture. Medium-bodied and dryish. Soft tannins and moderate acidity, well-balanced. It went well with the turkey and salted cod, and indeed we felt that it went better with all three dishes, the other being Arroz de pato, or Duck with rice.
Both wines sat in their decanters before and during the meal for ~3 hours prior to being returned to their bottles.
Second full pours were had on Day 2.
A really lovely bouquet, still stumping me a bit. Will go with plum, mushrooms and a hint of licorice. Unusual and enticing. Noticeably drier than the Vertente on the palate, unripe black fruit with baking spice. Medium tannins and acidity.
Today I end with the same impression that my wife had yesterday: the Niepoort Vertente is more enjoyable than the Baga on its own, though the Baga was the clear winner with food. I can wholeheartedly recommend both overall.

I’m putting the complete review of each bottle in my wine account on Pixelfed, and will link to them in following posts. Thanks to Mastodon’s own @MarkSquiresWine for his wine recommendations! They were stellar.
More info on the food in the second post, coming right up.

End of a long day of kitchen effort. My sore back is happy to be facing a bit of horizontal time now. And I am nicely full of turkey and all associated side items, I might add.
Brag on your menu! #ChristmasDinner
What was your menu? What worked?
My favourite thing was the new starter I tried today
Puff pastry with pears, prosciutto, pomegranate seeds, whipped feta and rocket.
Worked a charm

The final result. (Minus the #cat)

I've succeeded at the fridge-chess match that is getting the leftovers put away after supper. I'm thinking of joining the pro-tour circuit and taking endorsement deals.
Cleared the basement of spiderwebs and floor debris including a sizeable piece of dinner roll from Thanksgiving. Washing tablecloths and we’ll configure the tables and chairs for 12 adults and 8 children which sounds like 20 ppl for #ChristmasDinner tomorrow.
