A fresh and rich wine, its tannins soft and smooth. There is a firm edge, while the main flavors are ripe, juicy black plum and damsons, pushed by final acidity.

If you want power, here it is. This is a super-rich wine, with dense ripe black fruits. The concentration fits well with the acidity. The downside is a pepper and alcohol burn that needs to blow away.

This is a potentially fine wine, spoilt by high alcohol. The structure is dense and with enough acidity and solid tannins. The alcohol is the problem, derived from fruit that tastes overripe.

Powerful and dense, the spicy fruit is solid, dark and juicy. There is a fine balance here, the rich fruit powering through the wood tannins to give an impressive, concentrated finish.

A fine and elegant wine, flavors of blackberry and spice to go with the bright acidity. It has a fine layer of dusty, dry tannins that flesh out the fruit, along with a great final swathe of fresh fruit.

From vineyards at the western end of the Douro region, this is a densely packed wine, with a dusty and tannic texture that also keeps a firm grip on dark berry and stone fruits. The acidity is less apparent, giving a wine that should be drunk in the next 1–2 years.
