This is surprisingly youthful for an eight year old, but then Douro reds do have this capability for longevity. It has real bloom with all kinds of perfumed lilac/peony florality, sweet plum, light spice and vanillin. It is very bright, tidy and brisk, with crusty tannin and a mineral finish. This will live a long time but it is so well manicured now that I wouldn't hesitate to open it. The length is excellent. Tasted October 2025. Score - 92. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)

This blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Sousão comes from vineyards planted in 2005 and selected by Tony Amaro of Toronto's Opus Restaurant. It showcases dark cherry, plum, clove, and pepper spice. Savour it with braised meats.

Vines for this wine are grown 650 metres above sea level in a terraced vineyard rich in schist. This lovely red is already mature and ready to enjoy, showing notes of red plum, beetroot, and dried herbs, with a touch of vanilla.
