Steven Spurrier, from Decanter Magazine, gives his impressions and tasting notes about Tormentas

    Dear Mr Danielle,

Stephen Hobley has forwarded to me your mail, with the very interesting description of your wine sent to Lavinia in Paris. I would like to congratulate you for your conception and your dedication to making Brazil's finest wine.

The concept of "vin de garage" has passed its peak as a fashion in the UK, but an individually made wine of top quality is always most interesting. If you were to send a bottle to Decanter, I would taste it with my colleagues both on the web and the magazine side and it might be possible that we could suggest an importer.

Could you send this bottle, with any information we might need, to me at Decanter: First Floor, Broadway House; 2-6 Fulham Broadway; London SW6 1AA.

With kind regards,

Steven Spurrier.

Dear Mr Danielle,

I finally got around to tasting your wine yesterday. Here are my notes:

Secundo Cabernet Sauvignon 2004.

Fine ruby-carmine colour with clarity and limpidity; subdued notes of ripe berry fruit, a little briary, fine expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with clear and precise fruit on the palate, evidently youngish vines, but already with a sense of place. Quite Medoc in style, but more Margaux or St Julien rather than Pauillac or St Estephe, fine balance, refreshing flavours and nice length. 16/20.

Premium Cabernet Sauvignon 2004.

Very fine black cherry colour with still the violet tinge of youth, more earthy and more meaty than the Secundo, more in the Pauillac/St Estephe mould, excellent depth and ripeness, almost plummy and succulent on the middle palate with fine tannins at the end. Very fine expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, without any of the excesses often found in the New World, deep briary fruit with polish and length and good smooth tannins. 18/20.

The wines were tasted around 3pm in the afternoon, and I re-tasted them with a couple of friends over dinner around 9pm. By that time the Secundo had faded a little, but the Premium had really opened up and was even more impressive.

(...)

My friend Stephen Brook, who writes regularly for Decanter, has been invited to attend the San Paulo Wine Fair this May. You would find him a most interesting person, who would certainly appreciate what you are doing in Brazil.

For the moment, I think that given the quantities (tiny) and prices (high) it would be difficult to place these wines on the UK market, and I think a personal visit by yourself is the way to progress on this.

Thank you for the great opportunity to taste the two excellent wines.

Kind regards,

Steven Spurrier.
