Nice stuff, showing opulence and sweet tannins, loads of dark berries and spice flavors. Internationally styled but fairly true to its origin.

Fruits from the highest part of the Douro, an elegant wine - this sub region is the hottest, driest and stretches to the Spanish border, it produces some of the finest wines from the region

Crush wine club pick this month. Nice old world feel. Good complexity on the finish like berries and earth. Great blend! I think I'll pick up another bottle.

Just been recommended by our waiter who is from the region he said that if we didn't like it we wouldn't have to pay for it? We are paying for it, it's beautifully rich in colour, chocolate mocha,cherries amazing.

Unexpectedly spicy. Very smooth with nicely balanced fruit and smokiness.
