This wine is excellente! Deep silky dark fruit. This is a great sipping wine, yet it will sing with a thick steak or juicy grilled pork chop. This is a 2007, so good luck finding one. — 8 years ago
Blend of multiple indigenous varieties (Donzelinho, T. Francisca, Alvarelhão, Sousão, etc.) from old vines in Vila Nova de Foz Côa in Douro Superior (Upper Douro), not far from the Spanish-Portuguese border (La Raia, an area known for its smuggling past. Hence the name). Aged in used oak barrels for 15 months. Intense nose with aromas of dark fruit, prunes, chocolate and some spices. Powerful, full-bodied. Despite the 15% alcohol it feels quite fresh. Elegant. Polished tannins. Great at almost 10 years — 3 years ago

Young, needs time. Nice fruit, long finish. — 9 years ago
Incredible violet, ripe strawberry, lavender, and tobacco aromas with black fruit, vanilla and black olive flavors. 13% ABV, medium bodied, soft tannins and pleasant finish. A touch of brettanomyces adds to the complexity of this Portuguese-style red blend. 37% Touriga, 20% Alvarelhão, 18% Souzão, 17% Tinto Cão, and 8% Tempranillo. — 9 years ago
