This comes from Quinta do Portal, well known for its Douro table wines. It is a fine, concentrated Port which shows tannins, fresh fruit and flavors of cherries. It is spoilt by the stalky aromas, but the taste is good compensation. 1 Note

An attractive, fruity Port, which has perfumed aromas, young, fresh fruit and flavors of raisins. It is sweet, flavored with black cherries and figs. This is an easy drinking style, which fits the profile of Reserve Ports perfectly. 1 Note

The small Vale Dona Maria quinta in the Rio Torto valley is making a name for its vintage Ports. This Reserve follows in a serious, vintage style, with ripe, attractive perfumed fruit, and rich, complete flavors of sweet figs and chocolate. The aftertaste is dry, just slightly bitter. 1 Note

An easy drinking, ready to drink Port, with few pretensions. But it is soft and pleasant enough, with its flavors of gum arabic and soft, rich fruit. Some bitterness in the aftertaste lets the wine down. 1 Note

A jammy, herbal flavored wine, which is well enough balanced but seems to lack much intensity. The fruit is soft, sweet with black jam flavors and a light touch of acidity. With just an extra touch of concentration, this would be a classic wine. The name of the wine comes from the principal quinta owned by Barros near Pinhão. 1 Note

This is a dry style of wine, with a touch of cistus aroma and lean acidity. There are good tannins, some fresh black fruits, but it needs more intensity to really show up the herbal flavors. One of the many brand names of the Barros group, Feist has a history dating back to the 1830s. 1 Note

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. 1 Note

This Port from the organically farmed Casal dos Jordões certainly has pure fruit flavors. But the main impression is of a green, herbal character with bitter chocolate which spoil the balance. The spirit could be better integrated, as well. 1 Note

Sweet, soft and light, this is an enjoyable, but discreet wine, hiding its charms under fresh perfumes and juicy, young fruit. After the first taste, it opened up in its glass, and showed good black fruit aromas and direct, ripe fruit flavors. 1 Note
