Impressive in many ways, with great fruit and underlying minerality, yet feels "made" as the oak treatment is dominant and its tannins too polished. It lacks intensity and the power which usually makes this wine truly special.

Beautiful and perfect example of Douro, with powerful fruit in the front and an elegant finish with no harsh tannins. A great wine. This wine went perfectly with Greek lamb souvlaki. Expensive but worth it. And so fresh after 18 years.

Young, dark, fully loaded with forest berries notes. Charged with tannins, full-bodied, intense and long-playable. Beside the youth presents himself elegant. After some 15/20 years should be silky, delicate but with the same nice structure. Alvaro knows his job.

GL Portugal tasting 2/15/17. Nose with violets and savoriness that seemed to have opened up with time. At first more fruit driven. Palate that's really complex and yummy. More complex than'13 which suffered from a heat wave. 60% new oak and. Only 48 bottles left!
