• 2005 Quinta do Vallado Touriga Nacional Douro 92 Points

  A complex nose, initially oaky, fruity, something meaty - and then the oak disappears.
  Silky smooth, very oaky (but not to its detriment), fruity and well balanced.

  A subtle fruity nose.
  Smooth and fruity, rich and intense - but this wine is in its infancy and will develop beautifully.

  A wonderful fruit nose with pepper and coffee notes.
  Well balanced fruity, intense, complex - but its infanticide; this wine needs to be kept for up to 20 years.
