Just a little less intense and persistent than the 2020. — 4 months ago

100% Tinta Barroca, one of the most planted varieties in the Douro, where it is generally used for port blends. From a north-facing plot in Meda (Douro Superior) at 600m elevation. Fermented and aged in concrete vats. Beautiful, fragrant nose. Aromas of ripe fruit (strawberries, strawberry jam and black currant). Medium bodied, bright fruit on the palate. High acidity. — 2 years ago

Fruit forward and gulpable. I would imagine that this would do well with a slight chill. — 3 years ago

Breaking into a bottle from a 2019 trip to Douro. Beautiful - eggplant hued and powerful on the nose. I’m very glad I stuffed a bottle into my suitcase to bring it home. Earthiness, licorice, freshly cracked black pepper balanced with a touch of citrus and strong tannins. A perfect bottle. — 4 years ago

2015 vintage. A joint venture between the Roquette (Quinta do Crasto) and Cazes (Lynch Bages) families. Only produced from the best barrels in exceptional years. Old vines of Touriga Nacional, Tina Roriz and Touriga Franca from the Douro Superior and Cima Corgo sub-regions. Black fruit and violets. Seriously powerful, but it maintains elegance, thanks to the acidity balancing the layers of fruit and ripe tannins. Long lingering finish. Impressive. Abv. 14,5 % . — 2 years ago

Bright purple. Clearly more uptoned than the Quinta do Vallado Superior I had alongside. This is nicely balanced midweight young Douro. Raspberries, granberries red currants and cherry, some strawberry maybe on the background. This jumps nicely out of the glass and nose is far more expressive at this stage. Pop next about 4-5 years from now and you have a treat. Great stuff! — 4 years ago

My father in law picked up this gem in Lisbon in 1997 when I snagged a 1994 Fonseca Vintage port. He was looking to spend a more modest amount on a Port to bring home. WOW, what a find. Tawny in structure and color. Well balanced and just a great all around port. — a year ago

Field blend of Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho and Gouveio from 80 years old vines on schist soils. Vineyard on the right bank of the Douro River, in the prime Cima Corgo zone, at an altitude of 400-600 metres. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 6 months in oak. Clean, precise nose with citrus (tangerine), floral notes and and subtle oak. Fresh, linear, medium bodied, dry. Good minerality and acidity. Very tasty — 3 years ago

Just what I expect from Douro red. This has plenty of blackberry, some plum, ripe cherry, earthy notes and disty tannins. There is oak on the surface but the depth of fruit tells it will be integrated in 2-3 years of time. Great wine if you like bit darker side of Douro — 4 years ago
