Jammy strawberries. Full bodied and very drinkable as cocktail w/out food.

Leagues beyond where the 2008 was. Still youthful and direct with great aromatics and nice fruit without being overblown. A great value dry wine from the Douro

Beautiful wine. Firm tannins, but great balance and plenty of fruit. Very impressive. Best wine I've had from Portugal.

We loved this wine so much the last time we were here we had to order it again! Layered, smooth and dangerously drinkable.

Low tannin, full bodied. Almost like a juice. Personally not for me. Definite red cherry and strawberry notes. Drink with rich dishes.

Very good. Symington.
Portuguese wine tasting at D'Canter: 2011 vintage. Smell: dried red cherries. Taste: espresso/mocha/coca. Elegant, not "in-your-face". Good w cheese: drunken goat, rosy goat (rosemary)

The 2011 is a different beast and really shows the quality of the vintage. Dark fruits with hints of chocolate. The best Pombal I've had
