Winery - Wine & Soul
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Broad, ripe style, concentrated while retaining lightness of touch. There is a good mineral element balancing the yellow fruits and rich texture.

A crisp, neutral wine, steely and mineral in character. The fruit flavors are curiously suppressed, but the freshness and green crispness only just come through, followed by a light serving of wood.

Something of a disappointment after the great 2003 vintage, this shows much more of a green, herbal character, almost underripe.

For Sandra Tavares da Silva and her husband, Jorge Serodio Borges, already well-known for great Douro table wine, this is a first vintage Port. For such a modern couple, the Port has a comfortingly old-fashioned feel. The tannins are dusty and solid, but generous. The style is dry, while the fruit has fine dried fruit flavors. An impressive start. Imported by European Cellars.

Big, powerful wine that is restrained by its ripe, dusty tannins. It is concentrated, with an almost Port-like texture, a result of the open lagars in which it is fermented. The fruit is likely to be rich and opulent as the tannins move into balance.

From 45-year-old vines, a wine with huge concentration, yet always elegant in character. The weight and density are palpable. Dark black fruits, along with a juicy edge, go with the dry core of this ageworthy wine.

Tasted as a cask sample, this wine was packed with new wood and red fruit flavors. It will not be as powerful, or as long-lasting as the 2001, but it has the potential for great drinkability within 5 years

Sweet ripe fruit, packed with flavors of blackberry juice, and balanced by new wood. This is a serious wine, showing pepper, herbs, firm, dry tannins and great aging potential. It is certainly a world-class wine, but it also keeps its roots firmly in the Douro, with its solid structure, opulent ripe fruit and food-friendly character.

A second wine from the Pintas range of Jorge Serodio and Sandra Tavares, this is a big, forward wine, pushing out ripe red plum and strawberry fruits. It’s almost sweet in its ripeness.

Two talented winemakers, Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges, jointly produce wines under the Wine & Soul label. This vintage of Pintas, black as ink, is richly spicy, with peppered fig and raisins over a dense core of dusty tannins. It is seriously powerful, but bears its weight well.
