3/30/2024 - Mr_Jinx Likes this wine: 87 pointsUnbalanced at first, but after an hour or so opener into a pretty nice structure. Classic big, dark fruit, medium tannin, and you definitely notice the alcohol. Good QPR. |

11/15/2023 - huse wrote: 89 pointsA pleasurable, well-made Douro wine, mainly made of Touriga Nacional completed with a dash of Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Alicante Bouschet. Aged for ten months in oak barrels. A deep ruby-red colored wine with intense aromas of blackberry, raspberry, dark chocolate and some hints of eucalyptus and cedar wood. The well-balanced palate offers a powerful wine with layers of luscious plum and black forest fruit, quite a smooth texture and present but well-integrated tannins. Harmonious aftertaste. The wine is already in a good drinking spot, but there is no hurry to drink. A whole lot of wine for the money. |

10/21/2023 - johnrm wrote: 87 pointsA few months since our last bottle. Good colour. A little slow to open but the complex nose developed with time in the glass with fragrant dark fruits and hints of vanilla from the part-oak treatment. The palate showed dark plums/damsons with some blackberries but the fruit was underscored by acidity and leathery tannins that verged on bitterness when first tasted and even 2-3 hours after opening. |

9/23/2023 - PSPatrick wrote: 91 pointsMaster class "Wines from the Douro and beyond" with Luis Carlos Fernandes of Symington Estates (Hochschule Geisenheim, Germany): Wine 4. 100% Touriga Nacional from a single vineyard. Dark ruby colour. Ripe, sweet red, blue and black fruit are joined by herbal notes, pine needle, spices, black tea leaf, and slate-like minerality. Good, medium to medium-plus acidity and high but round tannin. Good concentration. Lightly creamy texture. There is notable sweetness of fruit, but the wine finishes dry (not drying), with very good persistence. Still needs more time but should age well. |

5/20/2023 - johnrm Likes this wine: 88 pointsA year on from our last bottle and the wine has benefitted greatly from the extra time in bottle. Good, quite fragrant nose, dark fruits on the smooth palate and softer, better balanced tannins and acidity. Good on its own at this stage, and good with food. |
