2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — 3 years ago

Toffee and maple aromas stand out in this Colheita. Flavours of biscuit and toasted pecan emerge thereafter. The finish is vaguely like vanilla. — 6 years ago

Visited this property in 2017. It’s not that far outside of Santiago. Maybe a 40-45 minute drive from town.
94+ with appropriate aging.
A wine that deserves more attention in the US but doesn’t likely because it is Chilean. I’ve traveled to every wine region of relevance to know there are many world regions that produce high quality wines. This one a Rothschild property.
