A very focused and complex wine, one of the top Douro wine and great value - sourced from the 80-year-old Pintas vineyard, which contains a field blend of over 35 indigenous varieties - Delicious 😊

Picked before the heavy rains that fell during harvest that ruined the vintage for many, this is on point for typical Pintas, with maybe deeper dimension of elegance and freshness. The nose is fantastic with cool florals, the usual bright blueberry and raspberry, and a layer of rock minerality. Complex, focused and a gorgeous nose.

17.5/20 (93/100)

Мощно, с выраженным присутствием дуба, ваниль, мускатный орех, очень ягодно и сочно во вкусе, долгое послевкусие.

Research for this Sunday's Wine Pairing Dinner at #BROAcafe in #JerseyCity #Portugal #wineandsoul #pintas
BTW it is freaking delicious: complex & layered, pure and long. One of the best wines made in all of Portugal!

As per usual a fantastic wine of depth and focus with plenty of potential for aging.
