Trip to Douro Valley and stop at the Quinta in Pinhao in the evening, with finger food.
Dark violet color, beautiful nose of ripe wild black berry and red cherry.
Palate: Smooth and round mouthfeel with good structure, well balanced acidity, fresh and drink animating, black berry, red cherry, Saint Emilion Grand Cru feeling, simply good and delicious.

Fourth and final bottle. Made from 60% Touriga Nacional, 12% Touriga Franca, 8% Tinta Roriz, 5% Sousão, and others. 12 months in oak barriques.
As I wrote in early 2022, still true: "Same level as 2018, not as good as 2017. Still young with strong tannins, dark berries and cherries, oak, mineral freshness (5.6 g/L TA vs 1.4 g/L RS)."

Third bottle by now. Still going strong and early drinking window. But I doubt that it will ever become as good as their 2017 vintage.
