“Very dark – black at the core to a dark purplish rim. The aroma is dark, rocky and charry but not overly oaky. Firm, chewy, structured and deliciously dry in texture. Lots of dark, dark fruit without any unwanted sweetness. A highly refined, polished Douro. Long and elegant and still in its youth. Long, cool aftertaste.”
17.5/20 Julia Harding MW for Jancis Robinson MW
“Lots of beautiful fruit with blackberries and orange peel with crushed stone character. Medium body. Fine tannins and vivid acid underneath.”
