Jancis Robinson in Financial Times,A forward, fruity wine that shows ripe black-currant fruit. It does have the stricture that comes from the tough soils of the Douro, but this is balanced by the acidity, juicy fruitiness and ripe tannins.

Spice, Christmas cake, plum, garrigue and smoke nose. Attractive, juicy fruit with a firm sappy length…supple, vigorous wine with well-tamed tannins.
Decanter Magazine,"Wine of the week". Wonderfully vigorous and concentrated… admirably appetizing and beautifully balanced with notes of liquorice, brambles and tar. Quite a package considering the price.
Jancis Robinson,A deep, bright hue with some rather attractive Rhônish peppery reduction to nose and palate. (...) Animated and expressive, it’s very beguiling.
Sarah Ahmed,
Pale straw colour. The aromas reveal subtle suggestions of pineapple and lychee and a hint of banana. Well integrated wood is just detectable with a discreet hint of vanilla. In the mouth the wine is balanced with green apple and soft grapefruit undertones denoting fine, crisp acidity. A wine that will gain fine complexity with bottle age.
Ready for immediate consumption, although the wine has the potential to continue developing favourably in bottle up to 5 years.
Serve between 10°C and 12°C.

Ready for immediate consumption, although the wine has the potential to continue developing favourably in the bottle up to 10 years.
Best served between
