 Tasted by DGT83 on 5/10/2017 & rated 92 points: First glass of the bottle using Coravin. Even though on the young side it strikes you with its blackberry and blueberry like flavours right away. In the nose also toffee. Body medium and tannins balanced and nice. Very long finish - in fact you still have the taste in your mouth a couple of minutes after the last sip. Beautiful and looking forward to get a glass once in a while using Coravin. 92+ (1550 views)
 Tasted by WineGuyX on 3/17/2017 & rated 91 points: Super saturated purple. Rich, ripe nose. Loaded with the essence of purple and blueberry syrup, spice and lilies. Medium-full bodied and just off-dry, this is lithe and rather easy to drink. Good quality tannin, freshness and overall balance are hallmarks. The sweetness shows through on the long, beautiful finish. More purple and blue fruits as well as a bit of "portiness" on the palate. Absolutely beautiful and seamless. A bit constrained at present, I look forward to following the evolution of this wine! 91+ (1489 views)

Over a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
