Impressive, ripe wine, the acidity and black fruits meld together in a harmonious whole. It has fresh fruit as well as dark tannins, wood aging giving a rounded feel to the texture. Age for two years. ——R.V.(12/15/2010)—— 92

This wine combines sophistication with ripe fruitiness. It is a well judged blend of Touriga Nacional and Castelao bringing the tannins and structure of the first with the red juiciness of the second. Definitely worth aging, with the firm tannins and acidity likely to smooth out after two years. ——R.V.(8/1/2009)—— 91
