Deep ruby color. On the nose cherry, red currant, raspberry, some oak and hint of orange peel. On palate nice initial thrust with red and blue fruits, fresh and healthy acidity and nicely integrated oak. Medium length that ends with slightly tangy note combining granberry and cherry. Fresh medium weight Douro that goes well with large variety of food. Nice stuff

Been a while but this was really very good - 3rd bottle of this we’ve had this weekend on lockdown. £10 a bottle at M&S. Let it breathe a bit and the rewards are fantastic. You feel it though - 14%. One to savour.

Dark purple colour with gentle mossy cassis nose. Smooth texture and whilst a pleasant berry taste (with a hint of vanilla) it is a little lightweight versus expectations. A surprising amount of sediment. Certainly not a "wow" wine but for a modestly priced M&S purchase it does the job.

Aug 12th, 2015Nice, not amazing but a good M&S example. Sweet aftertaste and you can taste the vanilla. We had it with lamb steaks but maybe with a beef fillet or cheese it might have been better.
