Enormous. This has stuffing for excellent drinking in the now-to-5-years range but I'm not sure its built for the long haul. Give it good long decant and get it below room temp. — 8 years ago
A good bit of fruit; less plum and raisin up front than the Quinta Das Carvalhas, and a wee bit thin on the initial finish. Still, an excellent LBV. Darker fruit flavors come on as it warms. Actually coats the mouth nicely in the end. — 10 years ago
Excellent with a steak! Little hot. Little spicy. Loved it! — 11 years ago
Delicious raisins, prunes dark chocolate. Sweet but not cloying. Great with dark chocolate — 6 years ago
Full body. Deep plum flavor. Very lingering finish with subtle spice notes. Still wine. Amazing. — 6 years ago
Storng alcohol burn, typical porto aroma married to nutty and black fruit smells. Very caramel-y and raisin-y with medium body and a long surprisingly toasty finish. Like toasted rice crispies. First 10 yr old port I've had and I like it. Pairs well with fudge with peanut putter — 8 years ago

A lot more earthy than the 2011 Quinta das Carvalhas Douro Touriga Nacional, but with all the small fruity nuances (especially blackberry). Definitely my new favorite red. — 11 years ago
Heavy fig jam, jump-to-your-face dessert wine. Perfect complement to dark chocolate and other desserts. .

A very nice tawny. Great with chocolate cake! — 8 years ago
Dark almond with sweet fruit aromas and some spice. On the palate dried red fruit flavors, well balance, nice acidity with a nuttiness character. Lingering finish ending with mineral tones. — 9 years ago
A very robust and smooth wine — 11 years ago
Nice big nose of cassis and other dark fruits, touch of oak and tar. Not nearly as port-ish as the Carvalhas. Considerable body and tannins, with more blackberry and other dark fruits. Nice bottle for the money for sure. — 11 years ago

Black currant on nose and taste with cherries hint of cocoa great length. Very subtle tannins. 1-2 more bottles drink over next 2 years. — 6 years ago
