“Youthfully compact, but with good coiled-up, juicy energy, which should allow the dark plum, fig and blackberry reduction notes to meld steadily with the backdrop of alder, licorice root and baker’s chocolate. Shows serious density and grip for the vintage.” — Wine Spectator, Aug 2024

“The 2021 Pintas Vintage Port shows the voluptuous character of the place and is quite different from Quinta da Manoela. This comes from the lower part of the vineyard. It’s super dark, almost black and completely opaque. It’s very young, jammy and has notes of black olives, graphite, soil, something salty (it made me think of the sea) and resinous notes of something floral. It’s tannic, as young Vintage has to bd, but the tannins are fine and elegant. It’s still a baby, and you can drink it, but the complexity will comes with years in the bottle.” — Wine Advocate, Apr 2024
