boa pinga III

várias foram as razões para não ter carteado a rubrica "boa pinga":

1. as eleições na tailândia e as restrições impostas pelas autoridades;
2. o xô Vici estar a banhos no vietname;
3. não termos o Claudio Caniggia na região;
4. o leixões ter empatado o Benfica;
5. o obama estar a preparar-se para o debate;
6. as bolsas estarem a cair a pique.
por falar na queda das bolsas e nos tempos de crise que se vivem, hoje venho ortografar-vos sobre o "C.V.":

a colheita de 2004 obteve 94 pontos no wine advocate:
"The 2004 "CV" (the initials stand for "Curriculum Vitae") (Quinta Vale D. Maria) is another blockbuster, full in the mouth, round, with a gorgeous, lingering finish. In its youth, it has a touch of oak and licorice noticeable. Its attack is subtle at first, and then it increases in intensity to the point where it is rather focused and penetrating. It is structured and remarkably flavorful, with lovely red berry notes on the finish. Yet, I think it is also better balanced than the 2003. It is equally delicious. To me, this looks like a big winner. It adds another layer or so of fruit to the regular “tinto.” There were approximately 416 cases made. Drink 2009-2019."

os mesmos pontos foram dados pela wine spectactor.
"Ripe and full-bodied, with mineral and licorice aromas and a deep well of dark plum, blackberry and dark cherry flavors. Long, very pure mineral streak to the mocha- and spice-filled finish. Suave. Drink now through 2015. 75 cases imported."

já a "wine enthusiast" foi mais modesta e pontuou com 93 pontos: "From a special lot of wine that showed, as the producers put it, "new flavors and characters,"this wine has been named Curriculum Vitae in recognition of its importance "in our winemaking lives." Luckily, this hype is justified. It’s initially austere, with dry black fruits and firm tannins. But it shows great long-term qualities. A powerful wine that, with its wood and rich, almost Porty fruit, promises to keep for many years."

este vinho da quinta do vale de d. maria é superior. caro, é certo, mas vale bem a mais de meia milena de patacas que marca num supermercado da especialidade e estou certo que irá valorizar bastante nos próximos tempos.
à consideração de quem aprecia um vinho encorpado e cheio de alma duriense.
