Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tasting of the tough land from which it comes, this is a firmly structured and intense wine, packed with berry fruits, layered with wood and spice. Made by Mateus Nicolau de Almeida, grandson of the creator of Portugal’s legendary Barca Velha wine. Age for five years and more.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rich and oily wine, with smooth pear and apple purée flavors. That means it lacks acidity, compensating for that with its ripe bursts of flavor. The finish reveals toast and spicy almonds.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Chocolate and spice dominate this wine. It is very dry, very firm, extracted but intense, the fruit only slowly coming through the other flavors. A potentially impressive wine, from vineyards high up the Douro, this is worth aging 2–3 years.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sweet, soft and rich, with vanilla flavors along with fresh blackberry fruits. The wine is gentle, missing tannins, but immediately appealing, with its indulgent ripe fruit.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Ripe lime aromas and a full richly fruity palate give a rounded character to this wine. Apricot juice and tangerine brighten up the palate, fitting well with the wood and fruit structure. Keep for another few months for the whole wine to fill out even more.
