Named after the village of Panasqueira, where the vineyard is situated, this wine is made from the local Baga grape. Packed with rich black fruits, ripe but firm tannins and layers of wood, this is an intense wine that would repay cellaring. Pato believes the Baga softens and becomes more like Pinot Noir as it ages—give it 10 years. ——R.V.(11/1/2004)—— 91
