15% so heavy but enough typical Douro fruit that it didn’t feel oppressive for dad! (The fruitiness mellowed as it breathed and it got even nicer). Really delicious — 2 months ago

Really delicious Portuguese red. Tannins increase on the second glass, good heavy body, not too much fruit so nice and savoury - really good. Esperao esque! — 3 months ago

Had the 2005 vintage - an expensive drop for us but completely delicious! Very different for a Merlot, incredibly woody and leathery, just south of Bordeaux and would have had a much heftier price tag if made a few Kms north. Excellent wine! — 5 months ago

Very heavy, typical full fruity delicious Portuguese red. We had a bottle at dinner in Porto and brought one back to Narberth for our last night in Pembs. Up there with Esporao — 2 months ago

A really solid wine. First glass - weirdly - was better than the second. Started very bold and mellowed out. Very pleasant — 4 months ago

Very delicious (& tastes even better in Uganda). A bit too fruity for me but perfect for Raj. Buttery and creamy, full, an amazing smell - very enjoyable — 9 months ago

I think we had the 2011 or 2010 - in Porto. It was delicious. Really full, heavy tannins but still balanced - absolutely delicious — 2 months ago

Delicious Portuguese red - fruit forward enough for Raj yet heavy enough with tannins that coat the mouth like powder for me - the perfect combo. Plus drinking it with the guy who makes it for the BEST wine tasting afternoon in Porto - his almonds, olive oil, cheese and welcome was insane — 2 months ago
