"Richly structured and ripe, this has black tannins laced with dark plum fruit. Its tannins promise aging while its fruit already offers a rounded taste."

“The 2010 TINTO, a 40/40 blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, with 20% Tinta Roriz, is probably a wine that will be typical of the vintage—a bit lighter than the big 2009s, not quite as deep and as concentrated, but not unacceptably thin and able to retain some finesse and persistence. This, in its youth, seems quite lovely, precise, focused, flavorful and beautifully balanced, with more persistence on the finish than I thought it originally would have. It was fermented in tank and then aged in old, mostly French oak (with a small percentage of American barrels) for 6 to 10 months. Drink now-2019.”
