M.O.B. - Wine & Spirits	M.O.B Branco	2015	91	Feb-2018
Review “This is the Dão project of three talented Douro winemakers—Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges. They work with Encruzado and Bical from a high-elevation site in Serra da Estrela, fermenting and aging it in French oak (30 percent new). There’s a taut peach-skin snap to the flavors, along with a broader orange-pith and chicken-of-the-woods savor. It’s balanced, and an intriguing white to age.”
M.O.B. - Wine Advocate	M.O.B Branco	2015	92	Aug-2017
Review “The 2015 Branco is a 70/30 blend of Encruzado and Bical, aged for 10 months in a 60/40 mixture of used and new French oak. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. Fresh, piercing and very much emphasizing its acidity, this is impressive for its long and gripping finish, concentration and freshness. There was a touch of flint up front, but that should blow off. The wood is barely noticeable. This is a potential beauty that should age well. It is priced very nice, too.”
M.O.B. - Wine Advocate	M.O.B. Tinto	2013	92	Aug-2017
Review “The 2013 Estate Tinto, with just M.O.B. on the label, is about 50% Touriga Nacional, with Alfrocheiro (30%), Jaen (15%) and Baga (5%), aged for 12 months in a 70/30 mixture of used and new French barriques. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol. This elegant and pointed blend has fine tension on the finish, with good acidity and some tannic pop as well. Showing all that Dão finesse, it is beautifully constructed. It should age gracefully, given its structure and acidity. As I retasted this, it grew on me. Its power and complexity (touches of beef, amber and red fruits) make it a big winner. It is also nicely aromatic and a perfect food wine.”
