Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Classic tannic Dão Touriga Nacional, packed with minerality, dark and dry tannins, firm and with a good juicy final character. Part of a range of wines from across the country under the name Azul Portugal.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fragrant and fresh, this is a great bright, crisp Vinho Verde. The acidity is intense, balanced with an elegant softer texture. It just cries out for seafood.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A rounded wine, keeping the white fruit character of pears, given vibrancy by a citric grapefruit flavor. Full in the mouth, it has a smooth texture, finishing softly.

Ripe and smooth wine, with a rich Port-like aroma, the sweet fruit structured with some fresh stalky tannins. Great herbal and wild berry flavors to finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Earthy, spicy aromas are followed by a chunky wine, tasting of tough clay and limestone soils. Dark black currant fruits and layers of acidity, give an austere final flavor.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A very soft-textured wine with delicious jammy fruits that give spice and juiciness. It has a rich feel to it, velvet in the mouth, while the acidity adds just the right amount of freshness.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With six years’ aging, this is a delicious, soft and mature wine. The fruit and acidity have been subsumed into a balsam and spice flavored wine, with a touch of mint and sweet chocolate. It is delicious now, not for aging further.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is certainly a powerful statement: smooth, super-rich, tarry black berry fruits, spice and a sizable serving of wood vanilla. A wine to admire, not to enjoy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From the far north of the Vinho Verde region, the rich and creamy wine balances acidity, green plum and crisp minerality. Aromatic, elegant, fresh.
