Critics Ratings

'Offers aromas and flavors redolent of red raspberry, with concentrated dark plum and blueberry notes. Presents supple tannins and a creamy, open-textured finish of dark chocolate and Asian spice. Very lush. Drink now through 2022.' – Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jun 2016)

'Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo) was once believed to be the finest grape for Douro table wines. While that view has been modified, it still makes an impressive wine. With 18 months in wood and super-ripe fruit, the wine is concentrated and opulent. It has fine tannins and acidity that are at the service of this great fruitiness. The wine will age further, with maturity likely to occur by 2020.' – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Jun 2016)

'Black core. Very firm tannins and thick, deep texture. Some red-fruit and vanilla sweetness on the nose. Spicy but lifted fruit. Dry, grippy tannins. A big wine but still has freshness. A really big dry beast and needs a lot of time. Takes a hold of your mouth and doesn’t let go. Dark savoury dry finish.' – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (May 2016)
