95 points Garrafeira Vinogrande (personal rating)
Sidónio de Sousa Lapso 2018 is a true celebration of the unexpected, where a “mistake” becomes a winemaking masterpiece. During the process, a batch of Baga — which was being aged for Sidónio de Sousa Garrafeira — ended up being mistakenly added to a batch of Merlot. The result is a surprising fusion of personalities, where the robust character and striking tannins of Baga are balanced by the smoothness, roundness and elegance of Merlot.
On the nose, this wine delights with intense notes of ripe red fruits, delicate nuances of spices and an earthy touch that reveals its origin. On the palate, it presents a complex and harmonious structure, with balanced acidity and a persistent finish that leaves a memorable impression. Sidónio de Sousa Lapso 2018 is an invitation to celebrate innovation and the transformative capacity of chance, demonstrating that sometimes detours along the way can reveal truly wonderful surprises.
