I'm just loving the wines of Portugal, and this was another lovely example - Black, well concentrated with a nose of extreme plum, raisin, spice and vanilla, nicely structured with fine tannins built for the long haul, very well balanced, early complexity, dry, smooth on the palate with nice length, great QPR (90 Points).

Quite exceptional nose of dark cherry and elegant use of oak. Fairly potent and heavy in the mouth. Nice grip finishing with dusty tannin. Better than the 2006 in aroma. Taste not dissimilar to 06. Not as good on day 2. Score based on day 1. Excellent overall.

Intense, full and dark. Cherry, port, fig and vanilla. A potent drink with some complexity.
