"Powerful, with plenty of acidity to the intense cherry, violet, raspberry and wild plum flavors. Offers a sinewy texture, showing a focused spiciness and a long, mineral- and chocolate-filled finish. Sleek and refined. Best from 2040 through 2060."

"This is a very dry, firm wine that’s solidly tannic but never harsh. The wine combines weight and ripe black fruit in a powerful expression of dense vintage Port from this estate in the Upper Douro. Acidity shines through the density on the finish. Age for many decades."~RV

"Blackish purple. Very scented. Dry and aromatic. Luscious and broad. Well up to standard for the vintage. Maybe not as intense as the very best. But commendable in a liquorice sort of way. Beautifully made."
