EDITOR'S CHOICE: “This is a firm, terroir-driven wine that has a dense core of firm tannins as well as serious black fruit. With its wood aging element and concentrated black plum and damson flavors, this is obviously for long-term aging. Give it at least five years.”

“The 2011 Tinto, revisited for a checkup, has emerged from its early mute period and it is pretty fine. It is a blend of 40% Touriga Nacional, 40% Touriga Franca and 20% Tinta Roriz, aged in a mixture of used French and American oak for 12 months. Having settled in and settled down, this has a graceful and refined feel now, although with still-lurking tannins in the background. It has charm and flavor, fine structure and it may yet prove to age better than I think.”
