I’m not a pro on Port so I really don’t know how to rate this. My mom was from England and when I tasted a Port with her many years ago I didn’t like it. However, now that I have a little experience with wine, tonight my brother brought this wine over and I feel like it’s sweet on the palate but the ABV is so high that I just can’t enjoy it. 🤷♀️ definitely a sipping wine and would consider this more of a dessert wine. — 3 years ago

1st wine of the new year and had to open something fun. Of course, enjoyed with its classic pairing of chicken wings 😉
1.5 hour decant(minimal fine/cloudy sediment). A stunning dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: brambly red berries, herbaceous, wet forest floor, graphite, floral. Taste: silky, soft, juicy, layered beautiful mouthfeel wine with red plum, dark chocolate, dried herbs, touch of spice and a cedar espresso captivating long finish. YUM! — 5 months ago

Had the privilege of being the first non Quinta Do Vale Meao persons to have a try of this wine. Probably one of the best Portuguese dry reds still with lots of ageing potential. Appreciated that they combine tradition and technology. Complex and elegant despite its youth. — 8 months ago

1/24 High marks. Wonderful earthy notes. In the sweet side. it is better oxidizing in the bottle so some of the sugarless subsides. Plenty of caramel, toffee, ripe fruit. Outside of the sweetness which can be cloying a solid 90. — 5 months ago
