An easy drinking dry Douro red. Velvety plum, blueberry compote, pressed violets. The aromas share so much in common with a young Ruby Port, despite their different paths. #sommcon

Ripe, more straightforward red blend but very well integrated and balanced. Sandra Tavares is on a roll. Wine and Soul

Swirling dark layers of purple and blue. Electric juicy tannins crackling with black pepper jerky, violets and lilac. #douro #wine

16.5/20 (92/100)

Интенсивно, чуть джемово, черноплодка, сухие черные ягоды, очень много, плотные танины. Суховато, с большим потенциалом.

Riper and more fruit driven than the Pintas bottling, with more suppleness to the structure so this drinks sooner. Classic notes of blueberry and red berries.

2010 vintage. Beautiful deep purple hue. Mineral aromas with soft plum and raspberry fruit on the palate. Medium to long finish. Perfect wine to accompany my Friday night study session of Portuguese wines...

Blueberries still strike me in this wine. It's added more body and the tannins are starting to turn finer. Plum and mocha notes complicate the palate and nose. Decant 30-60 minutes.
