On the Atlantic coast, south of Lisbon, the Herdade da Comporta style is rich, soft wines, generous in their warm tannins. The 2007 shows ripe fruit, figs, chocolate and plum flavors and dense texture.

A big and densely textured wine that shows great rich swathes of bitter chocolate, dark tannins and sweet acidity. The wine has power, dark aromas and an intense concentration.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A very fine wine, powered by both fruit and layers of tannins and wood. It is concentrated, darkly brooding, a hint of pepper to go with the toast, sweet fruits and dry finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very rich, this is a smooth spicy wine, its fruit flavors dominated by mango and pineapple, finished with a more mineral texture. It is worth opening this wine an hour before drinking, or even decanting.

Ripe pear fruit flavors go with green plums in the wine that has acidity, but does seem just too hot and heavy.

An earthbound white, with a rustic edge to it, while also having acidity and white fruits. A bitter almond character gives shape and texture.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Firm, earthy and fruity, this is a chunky wine, with a core of tannins to go with the fruit. It is not for aging, its black berry juice demanding attention now. A great barbecue wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A new label for the top wine from Comporta, producing a big, rich, muscular wine. It has powerful tannins, a solid and firm structure and ripe berry and plum fruits. The tannins need 2–3 years to round out.
