Dark red purple. Inviting nose and medium full, fruit-forward (for a European) palate of blueberry-blackberry compote. Bright medium acidity and medium minus tannins that mostly assert back-palate. Dark and slightly bitter finish (Touriga Nacional showing). Fine example of Portuguese non-Porto red. Ready for hearty entrées like roasted beef or pork. Drink now through 2028. — 12 days ago

Un Douro d’une douceur, souplesse et d’un super équilibre. À refaire assurément. — 19 days ago

Inky, opaque dark purple, smells like and tastes like a very fine Vintage Porto, WAY more dense, thick and complex flavors, typical Dow’s “relative” dryness, but very full-bodied and certainly not at all “thin”, outstanding LBV Porto!!! — a month ago

Ruby core, tawny hints in the rim.
Dried cherries, plums and dates, milk chocolate, brownspices, christmascake.
This is a nice, warm, mature Vintage Port, just a pinch too alcoholic on the finish. — a month ago
