The nose is remarkably intense, dominated by black fruit aromas accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate, the balance between fruit and tannins is perfect, offering a rich, mouth-watering texture with deep black fruit flavours. The concentration is impressive, always underlined by that delicate hint of perfume in the background. The finish is long and opulent, with great depth. A wine of exceptional elegance and style.17.5/20 Jancis Robinson; 96/100 Wine Enthusiast; 98/100 Wine Advocate; 95/100 Stephen Tanzer; 95/100 Wine Spectator.

Technique

Viticulture

April and May brought plenty of rain, before another dry start to the summer. The first two weeks of August were particularly hot, allowing the grapes to be harvested as early as 20 September. The resulting wines are powerful, full-bodied and intense in colour, with particularly seductive aromas. The transition to the 21st century marks the start of an exceptional period for the quality of Port wines, particularly those from the Douro Valley.

Oenology

After the harvest, these wines are selected by the estate's panel of tasters, then matured in oak tuns for two winters. They are then tasted again the following spring. If their quality proves exceptional, they are retained for the final blend.
