Lot's of oak but in a way that is reminiscent of expensive and high quality chardonnay. Very reductive with match stick and popcorn showing. It's already a few years old but I would love to see it in another 5+ #portugalwine #PortugueseWine #daowine

Очень красивый цитррусовый аромат, апельсин, грейпфрут, ваниль, цукаты. Отличный дуб.

A little big and blousy in the nose at first as the oak overwhelms some but with air integrates a little more as the other character in the wine rises up. In great vintages the salty and minerality here remind me of Meursault but I don't think this vintage gets there. More like a village Beaune Blanc.

A blend of typical Douro white grapes from about 50 year old vines, including Gouveio, Viosinho, Codega do Larinho and Rabigato. Evolved beautifully, with oak notes, freshness and length, with just a touch of caramel. A savory acidity. A must try, for sure one of the best Douro white wine.

A field blend of 4 indigenous grapes Visinho, Rabigato, Codega do Larinho and Gouveio from a small parcel, high elevation 50 year old vineyard. Aged In French oak. Marvelous
