There is a strong California influence in this wine, and it turns the fruit into a Schwarzenegger, all muscle. The wood dominates. It needs to calm down.

From a small parcel of old vines, this wine is dense, very firm and closed. It is in a dry style, layering richness rather than sweetness, with solid black fruit. Give this wine at least 10 years.

Vincent Bouchard, owner of Tedo, divides his time between the Douro and Napa Valley. This small property is located where the River Tedo joins the Douro, downriver from Pinhão. This wine is still young, dominated by fresh black fruits, firm tannins and layers of dryness. It is certainly destined for a 15 year aging.

Rich, soft and seductive, this Port has aromas of caramel, and ripe, sweet tannins. It’s very attractive, but likely to age fast.

A well-balanced LBV, showing dry raisins, dark plums and some firm tannins, along with a layer of sweetness and balancing acidity.

A highly perfumed wine, with a sweet element that brings juicy acidity sharpened with a green herbal edge. At this stage, the fruit is still fighting with tannins and acidity. A wine to watch.

Powerful, complex wine, its tannins beautifully integrated into the dense structure and full black berry fruits. It is so well balanced, the acidity showing seamlessly on finish.

Almost black in color, this hugely concentrated wine is still young, closed up. There is no hiding the potential power of the structure and the richness, with the tannins guarding the fruit for the next few years.

A fresh, juicy wine, its tannins soft, dominated by fruit. There is a light core of dryness, nothing powerful, but the main character of the wine is juicy, jammy, finished with fresh acidity.

This wine from the single quinta Quinta do Tedo, owned by Napa-based Vincent Bouchard, is sweet and soft, but has good flavors of raisins and a solid structure. The black fruit tastes are fresh, juicy and lively. A classic, easy drinking Reserve style.
